"Breathe baby breathe"
I think he said to me
Clutching my arm like it'd be the death of me
Leaving imprints I'd later learn impressed me
God forbid I make the mistake of wanting ecstasy
See baby see
You're right here next to me
In a car parked fifty feet away from the place
Where the music is played
I wanted so bad but venues just seem to always get the best of me
"Step baby step"
I imagine he'd project
If he saw me now
And I can recollect
The times he kept me safe
From fairly far away
From the world and its trees
Dropping leaves in your busy face
So like a big screw you
Wrapped in a big fat bow
In a box wrapped in blue
With a card that says
'No thanks, I'd rather go outside
'So I can take it with
'So I can take it in stride'
Get the best of me
So the best of me
Can rest at ease
If I please
