Breathe

I get the feeling that the air has upped and gone
Nothing else explains it, when everything goes wrong
Sometimes I try too hard then make a mess of it
I just can't help myself, I can't hold back one bit
I get the notion then it runs away with me
I overdo it and, it happens naturally
I overtake myself I'm running at such speed
Nothing can hold me down, it's such a burning need

Gotta slow right down and breathe
Breathe............................real slow
Gotta sit right back and breathe
Breathe..........................let it go

Feels like the air has been knocked out of my sails
Life makes me breathless and, my self control fails
I want to shout and scream when things don't go my way
I rant and rave so much, my temper goes astray
My pulse starts racing hard announcing every beat
Then my own temperature, is filling me with heat
I feel so helpless like there's no way left to turn
My mind is killing me, so burn baby burn

Gotta slow right down and breathe
Breathe............................real slow
Gotta sit right back and breathe
Breathe..........................let it go
Give me some air and let me breathe....breathe....breathe
Give me patience my fears relieve.....breathe....breathe
Give me wisdom so I'll succeed....breathe....breathe
Give me hope.... then I.... can.... believe....

Gotta slow right down and breathe
Breathe............real slow
Gotta sit right back and breathe
Breathe..........let it go
