lyrics

Come on and breathe now honey.
Show me something that ain't cost money.
Come on and breathe now honey.
Come on and breathe.

When you're down.
You think you've never been happy.
Was it only the whiskey you kept by your bed?
Keep your bearings.
Lubricate to maintain, to medicate.
Who's to say,
We're on the wrong side of thirty?
That we cannot stay the same.

We can be perennials.
We'll come back year after year.
The cold will make us shiver,
but in the soil we share,
I'm right here.

God, you need to breathe now honey.
Show me something that ain't cost money.
God, you need to breathe now honey.
I just wanted feel something free.

Perennials.

I know we ain't got money.
I wanted something free.
I pressed my head up to your chest.
Your heart is too fast.
God? You need to breathe.

This isn't what I prayed for.
But that's not who I am.
Keep making noise.
I remember what it sounds like when you sing.
