Breathe for two (wersja 2)

Verse

Last Christmas we stood on the edge of our lives

Two strangers with two futures, both open tonight

Your scarf caught the wind off Lake Shore Drive

I pulled it back around your neck and you smiled bright

We talked of all the roads we had yet to roam

Every highway stretching out before us like a home

I asked what kept you up past one and two in the morning

You whispered secrets, none of which I ever heard again

Pre-Chorus

Now winter's coming back with the cold it brings

And for once I'm not leaving without asking how your heart swings

Every year we say goodbye to the old and new

But this time around I want to know what you do when it breaks through

Chorus

So breathe for two, keep breathing with me tonight

We'll let go of all our ghosts in one last light

Breathe for two until dawn starts coming up

And we can walk into whatever this new year brings as something more than just a couple

Breathe for two

Let's not waste another season counting down till it's gone

Verse

Your hands were small inside my jacket, warm against the cold

I pulled you closer where the streetlights turn to gold

You asked if I believed in second chances, said they don't come easy

I told you I'd been waiting all my life for someone like me

We talked of all the things we used to do when we were kids

The movies we watched till the sun came up through the blinds

You laughed at a joke from a year before that one still made you smile

And right there on the corner of Clark and Addison, I fell in love in my prime

Pre-Chorus

Now winter's coming back with the cold it brings

And for once I'm not leaving without asking how your heart swings

Every year we say goodbye to the old and new

But this time around I want to know what you do when it breaks through

Chorus

So breathe for two, keep breathing with me tonight

We'll let go of all our ghosts in one last light

Breathe for two until dawn starts coming up

And we can walk into whatever this new year brings as something more than just a couple

Breathe for two

Let's not waste another season counting down till it's gone

Bridge

Maybe someday you'll leave me standing here alone

But tonight, while the city is ours to own

I won't ask how long or what might break between us yet

Just breathe with me and let this whole year melt away

Chorus

So breathe for two, keep breathing with me tonight

We'll let go of all our ghosts in one last light

Breathe for two until dawn starts coming up

And we can walk into whatever this new year brings as something more than just a couple

Breathe for two

Let's not waste another season counting down till it's gone
