Last Breath

Lyrics

[Intro]
Just a whisper.
The room is spinning.

[Verse 1]
You take the words right out of my mouth
And the oxygen out of the room
We’re standing on the edge of a doubt
Just watching the shape of the moon
Counting backward from 100, I only made it to 94
Before the gravity gets heavy
And I don't need it anymore

[Chorus]
I’m hanging on your last breath
Suspended in the space between
A little taste of near-death
The sweetest fright I’ve ever seen
Hold me down to lift me up
Pour the shadow in my cup
I’m completely in your hands right now
Don't let me down. Or do.

[Verse 2]
It’s a tightrope walk in the velvet dark
Your fingers resting on the pulse
Waiting for the quiet spark
Shutting out everybody else
The silence starts to ring like a bell
The edges are beginning to fray
I’m leaning deep into the spell
Letting the colors wash away

[Chorus]
I’m hanging on your last breath
Suspended in the space between
A little taste of near-death
The sweetest fright I’ve ever seen
Hold me down to lift me up
Pour the shadow in my cup
I’m completely in your hands right now
Don't let me down. Or do.

[Bridge]
The instinct says to break away
The rush is roaring in my ears
But I’m exactly where I want to stay
Trading all my rational fears
The panic and the pleasure meet
Right where the rhythm forgets to resolve

[Chorus]
I’m hanging on your last breath
Suspended in the space between
A little taste of near-death
The sweetest fright I’ve ever seen
Hold me down to lift me up
Pour the shadow in my cup
I’m completely in your hands right now
Don't let me down. Or do.

[Outro]
The gasp before the fall.
I’m giving you it all.
Just one last breath.
And then the rush.
Keep me in the hush.
