Take a Deep Breath
Brave Combo · Featuring Lauren Agnelli [2003]
L & c: I take a deep breath
L: far away from home
L & c: I take a deep breath
L: when the lights are low
I take in air
L & c: I don't know how it helps, but it helps
To take a deep breath.
L: when I count my sins
L & c: I take a deep breath
L: when I just can't win
L & c: I take a deep breath
L: when I'm afraid of life
I take in air
I don't know how it helps, but it helps
To take a deep breath.
L: I'm on the floor
L & c: I take a deep breath
L: I can't take no more
L & c: I take a deep breath
L: when there's no love
I can take in air
I don't know how it helps, but it helps (3x)
To take a deep breath.
L: when I'm waking up (carl echoes)
I take a deep breath (carl echoes)
When I have good luck (carl echoes)
I take a deep breath (carl echoes)
My only hope (carl echoes)
Is to take in air
I don't know how it helps, but it helps (15x by lauren; 13x by carl)
To take a deep breath
