And with that sombreness in mind, I’m just thinking of the song “Just Breathe” from the latest album by Pearl Jam. An amazing nearly-acoustic song with these solid thoughts and lyrics.
Yes I understand that every life must end,
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go,
I’m a lucky man to count on both hands
The ones I love,..
Some folks just have one,
Others they got none,
Stay with me,..
Let’s just breathe.
Practiced are my sins,
Never gonna let me win,
Under everything, just another human being,
Yeh, I don’t wanna hurt, there’s so much in this world
To make me bleed.
Stay with me,..
You’re all I see.
Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn’t now I’m a fool you see,..
No one knows this more than me.
As I come clean.
I wonder everyday
as I look upon your face,
Everything you gave
And nothing you would take,
Nothing you would take,..
Everything you gave.
Did I say that I need you?
Oh, Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn’t now I’m a fool you see,..
No one knows this more than me.
As I come clean.
Nothing you would take,..
everything you gave.
Hold me till I die,..
Meet you on the other side.
