I Can't Find the Air

Duncan Sheik
"Barely Breathing"
Download mp3 | Purchase


I know what you're doing, I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears
You really had me going, wishing on a star
But the black holes that surround you
Are heavier by far
I believed in your confusion, so completely torn
It must have been that yesterday
Was the day that I was born
There's not much to examine, nothing left to hide
You really can't be serious if you have to ask me why
I say goodbye

'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
I don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price, it's worth the price
The price that I would pay

Everyone keeps asking what's it all about?
I used to be so certain and I can't figure out
What is this attraction? I only feel the pain
There's nothing left to reason and only you to blame
Will it ever change?

'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
I don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price, worth the price
The price that I would pay

But I'm thinking it over anyway

I've come to find I may never know
Your changing mind, is it friend or foe?
I rise above or sink below
With every time you come and go
Please don't come and go

'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
I don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price, worth the price
The price that I would pay

But I'm thinking it over anyway

I would love to go back to Ireland. I've been twice now, yeah me! The south is beautiful. If I ever decide to become a nun, I have found my order. They live in Kylemore Abbey. I will bake for the tourists, I might even pray. It is the most beautiful place in the world!

WOW

It's nice to see that this song somehow made it back onto your recent comments list.

Wow! I had just finished a dive series with my then girlfriend and we laughed and joked about it all the ay home, every time we heard this song come on the radio (many times when you're driving back from San Carlos).

Anyway, Julie, how are you? No hurricanes yet, and I'm sure you're still with the big M (;-), but there's been no word.

Plus, I'm sure you haven't posted ALL of you Southwest pix, even though, it's been, what like a year?!?!?! Shame on you...

Anyway, Flag is still the same; come back sometime and say hello...
