lyrics
You’ve been a long time coming,
It’s nearly time to breathe.
Your cord will soon need cutting,
Then it’s time to breathe.
Sometimes we all have to do something totally new;
So don’t be afraid, just breathe.
One day we’ll hear you singing,
So come on and breathe.
But first your lungs need filling,
First you must breathe.
Time will tell and then we’ll see everything you could be;
Once you let go and breathe.
Breathe, and receive your first embrace.
Breathe, and illuminate your face.
Breathe, so the world can hear from you.
Breathe, it’s the next thing you must do.
The tension’s agonising,
I can hardly breathe.
I thought I heard you crying,
But you didn’t even breathe.
What am I supposed to do now, carry on without you somehow?
Guess I’ll carry on and breathe.
There must be another way to breathe.
It’s nearly time to breathe.
Your cord will soon need cutting,
Then it’s time to breathe.
Sometimes we all have to do something totally new;
So don’t be afraid, just breathe.
One day we’ll hear you singing,
So come on and breathe.
But first your lungs need filling,
First you must breathe.
Time will tell and then we’ll see everything you could be;
Once you let go and breathe.
Breathe, and receive your first embrace.
Breathe, and illuminate your face.
Breathe, so the world can hear from you.
Breathe, it’s the next thing you must do.
The tension’s agonising,
I can hardly breathe.
I thought I heard you crying,
But you didn’t even breathe.
What am I supposed to do now, carry on without you somehow?
Guess I’ll carry on and breathe.
There must be another way to breathe.

Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop.
