Maria McKee - Breathe

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdJOpb6dJlY

At first I was scared when I opened up my head
And the motor that was runnin' was the mind of you
I was scared when I looked at my reflection
And the shine I saw were the eyes of you

I was scared when you touched my lips
And the breath I took was a breath that shook me with a shock
Like a flame as eternal as a song and the song is you and I

I will let you breathe through me
I will let you be with me

Whenever I'm alone and you're lost out there
I can feel you breathe ‘cause our lungs we share
Whenever I'm alone anytime anywhere
I can feel your heart beat ‘cause our blood we share

I was scared when you came into my room
The walls became the sea, your voice was the moon
Oh when you rocked me in your arms
Like a song, a wave on the tide of you and I

I will let you breathe through me
I will let you be with me

My heart beats your blood
Your breath fills my lungs
Your heart beats my blood
My breath fills your lungs


I was scared when you came into my room
The walls became the sea, your voice was the moon
Oh when you rocked me in your arms
Be with me...

I will let you breathe through me
I will let you...
I will let you...
I will let you...

Now you know me  

You know how proud I am  

And what I'm gonna tell you now  

Won't be easy to say  

Before I left your side 

Ooh, I was so happy then  

But I've been so lonely  

Since I've been away 

Oh, baby 

 I've tried and I know I can't make it alone  

It's such a hard way to go  

I just can't make it alone  

There's something in my soul  

That will always (always)  

Lead me back to you  

What can I say now?  

Sorry is just not good enough  

I couldn't blame you if you hurt me now  

The way I hurt you then  

But who else can I turn to? 

Oh, baby, I'm begging you  

Won't you reach out for my dying soul? 

And make me live again  

Oh, baby, it's so hard  

I've tried and I know I can't make it alone  

It's such a hard way to go  

I just can't make it alone 

There's something in my soul (in my soul)  

That will always 

Lead me back to you  

I just can't make it by myself 

Just can't make it byself  

Baby, help me I've tried and I know I can't make it alone  

It's such a hard way to go  

And I can't make it alone  

There's something in my soul (in my soul)  

That will always (always)  

Lead me back to you  

Oh, help me (Please help me)  

You know I need you (I need you) 

 I'm saying that I need you  

I just can't make it by myself (I just can't make it by myself)  

I just can't make it all alone (I just can't make it all alone) 

 I just can't make it by myself (I just can't make it by myself)

Lone Justice - Shelter

 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvo9MbTkUbE
 
Well all right you gave it all up for a dream
Fate proved unkind
To lock the door and leave no key
You're unsure
Well baby I'm scared too
When the world crushes you

[Chorus]
Let me be you're shelter shelter
From the storm outside
Let me be your shelter shelter
From the endless tide

Disillusion has an edge so sharp
It tears at your soul
And leaves a stain upon your heart
I need you to wash mine clean
You've felt it too
And you need me

[Chorus]

Your struggle with darkness has left you blind
I'll light the fire in your eyes

[Chorus]

Your struggle with darkness has left you blind
I'll light the fire in your eyes

[Chorus]

Let me be your shelter shelter shelter shelter shelter

And I will hold you tight
Like the moon in the arms of the sky
And I will keep you warm
I will build a fire in this house
And I'll build a fire
You fetch the water and I'll lay the table
And in our hearts
We still pray for sons and daughters
And all those evenings
Out in the garden, with red red wine
These quiet hours turning to years
And I, I'll wrap myself
Around your heart
I'll be the walls of his heart
And I, I'll keep a light on
To call you back home
And I'll build a fire
You fetch the water and I'll lay the table
And in our hearts
We still pray for sons and daughters
And all those evenings
Out in the garden, with red red wine
These quiet hours turning to years
And it's all to come
For now we're still young
Just building our kingdom
But it's all to come
And I'll build a fire
You fetch the water and I'll lay the table
And in our hearts
We still pray for sons and daughters
And all those evenings
Out in the garden, with red red wine
These quiet hours turning to years
It's all to come
For now we're still young
