Catch My Breath

(album: Where Do Birds Go At Night? - 2023)

Expectations
Should've kept them to myself
I've been waiting
For you to act like someone else
Like your words wont
Break every time they fall from your mouth
Like I'm worth it
But I don't see it now

Girl why do we keep wasting our time
When it's of the essence
Could've been your blessing
Instead of your curse
Damn, why couldn't I have fallen
In something deeper than this
Something deeper to swim

Still I can't catch my breath with
You, you, you, you, you
With you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
Why can't I catch my breath with
You, you, you, you, you
With you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
It shouldn't be so deep

Demonstration
Just put the demon in yourself
Made me think I
Made me think I need your help
It's adjacent
Not parallel when a heart melts
Guess that's why
I'm sitting here beside myself
They all come and they go
My homegirl, Sally, she know
Maybe that's why I back off
Maybe I know it's their loss
Why can't I have fallen
In something deeper than this
Something deeper to swim

Still I can't catch my breath with
You, you, you, you, you
With you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
Why can't I catch my breath with
You, you, you, you, you
With you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
It shouldn't be so deep

And after all this time
I can't resist the falling over you
That makes you fall on me too
It ain't right without you, you
You, you

Still I can't catch my breath with
You, you, you, you, you
With you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
Why can't I catch my breath with
You, you, you, you, you
With you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
It shouldn't be so deep

Expectations
Should've kept them to myself
I've been waiting
For you to act like someone else
Like your words wont
Break every time they fall from your mouth
Like I'm worth it
But I don't see it now
