Breathing You 5/24/03 Cry me a river The cat’s out dying And you’re sucking in the shame Make me feel better ‘Cause I can’t stand to stand it Screaming your name And you know- I’m watching you My eyes so grassy green And you’ll cry- when I find you ‘Cause this whole world’s gone mean. ***** CHORUS: BEING YOU Is nothing I’ll need BREATHING YOU Is my energy LOVING YOU Is too hard for me to grasp with you Just tell me inside...I’m falling Birds of prey You catch them with your lips And suck their life Go away now And you’ll find another parrot Who will copy song and rhyme But you see it- think I’m lingering Think I’ve got you on my mind And I’d rather- go and burn away Then be caught with you this time. ***** CHORUS It’s raining Cats and dogs outside I can see them fall alone Why do you feel better When you see them reach the Earth and stone? And I feel- myself falling My bones all on the floor And I falter- to pick them up And tremble words no more. ***** CHORUS Bridge: Falling Ripping apart But my soul is Awakening And you see my Determination Break away And it’s Almost done.
