Lyrics
[Soft Felt Piano Intro]
the chest caved in like paper
the tide returned to teach.
[Verse 1]
I counted four and let it go, I remember.
the air came back in cautious waves, still and tender.
the lungs relearned a gentle trust, a quiet ember.
each inhale a small brave yes, now or never.
[Pre-Chorus]
the panic that held my ribs released, pulling me under.
every breath a thread of home, I'm not done, I'm not done.
[Chorus]
learning how to breathe.
the quiet fills the space I lost, holding the sound.
what panicked now just flows, spinning me round.
learning how to breathe.
[Verse 2]
the tide returned to teach, different weather.
the air came back in cautious waves, we're still together.
each inhale a small brave yes, light as a feather.
the lungs relearned a gentle trust, now or never.
[Chorus]
learning how to breathe.
the quiet fills the space I lost, holding the sound.
what panicked now just flows, spinning me round.
learning how to breathe.
[Bridge]
Oh, I counted four and let it mend, let it mend, let it go.
each inhale a small brave yes, now I'm safe, now I'm safe.
the panic that held my ribs — I am whole, I am whole.
[Chorus]
learning how to breathe.
the quiet fills the space I lost, holding the sound.
what panicked now just flows, spinning me round.
learning how to breathe.
[Outro]
the chest caved in like paper...
learning how to breathe.
[Fade Out]
[End]
