Reason To Believe Lyrics
Oh, sweet lungs don't fail me now.
Your burning has turned into fear.
It drills me in my every step,
I'm moving quick but you're always on my heels.
Just one more breath, I beg you please.
Just one more step, my knees are weak.
My heart is sturdy but it needs you to survive.
My heart is sturdy but it needs you.
Breathe, don't you want to breathe?
I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need.
My capillaries scream there's nothing left to feed on.
My body needs a reason to cross that line.
Will you carry me there one more time?
Steady lungs, don't fail me now.
I feel you bursting but you won't let me die.
Fill me up with every step,
I'm feeling sick but I'm leaving it behind.
Just one more breath, I beg you please.
Just one more step, you are not weak.
My legs are sturdy but they need you to survive.
My heart is sturdy but I need you.
Breathe, don't you want to breathe?
I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need.
My capillaries scream there's nothing left to feed on.
My body needs a reason to cross that line.
Will you carry me there once more?
Once more.
I have reason to believe that I have victories to taste.
I can feel them on my teeth, upon my lips, and in my chest.
I can roll them on my tongue.
They are more subtle than defeat.
I feel the tension in my lungs,
And every move is fueled by my resolve to...
Breathe, don't you want to breathe?
I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need.
My capillaries scream there's nothing left to feed on.
My body needs a reason to cross that line.
Would you carry me there one more time?
Your burning has turned into fear.
It drills me in my every step,
I'm moving quick but you're always on my heels.
Just one more step, my knees are weak.
My heart is sturdy but it needs you to survive.
My heart is sturdy but it needs you.
I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need.
My capillaries scream there's nothing left to feed on.
My body needs a reason to cross that line.
Will you carry me there one more time?
I feel you bursting but you won't let me die.
Fill me up with every step,
I'm feeling sick but I'm leaving it behind.
Just one more step, you are not weak.
My legs are sturdy but they need you to survive.
My heart is sturdy but I need you.
I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need.
My capillaries scream there's nothing left to feed on.
My body needs a reason to cross that line.
Will you carry me there once more?
Once more.
I can feel them on my teeth, upon my lips, and in my chest.
I can roll them on my tongue.
They are more subtle than defeat.
I feel the tension in my lungs,
And every move is fueled by my resolve to...

My capillaries scream there's nothing left to feed on.
My body needs a reason to cross that line.
Would you carry me there one more time?

Second best voice in music next to Nick Thomas...It shows in this song.
Oooh yes this song sounds great! Catchy and beautiful, I love it!

FAVORITE song on the new cd, im so in love with it already.
I absolutely love this song, it's meaning is obvious. It's just about trying to go on.. sometimes you get so wrapped up in life that you just forget to breathe.. so he's screaming at his lungs to breathe.
Funny how this song is going to be in the upcoming videogame Madden 2007.
I love the fact that this mysterious album kicks off with such a bang after the well-known "Don't Wait" concludes. With the gritty striking guitar riff, you can trick many people into thinking it's 'Taking Back Sunday' or some hardcore band.
When I hear this song, I feel that Chris truly revisited his FurtherSeemsForever roots-- so tough to sing along with him because of the high notes! Stand out line for me is, "My Body needs a reason to cross that line, won't you carry me there one more time?".
The rest of the lyrics don't stand out--I'm getting tired of biology lessons on the human heart, lungs, and how we breathe. I want Chris to write as clearly as the classic songwriters he looks up to---he's getting there. But not with this song.
best song on the album!
i like the biology part of it makes it a bit more real somehow gorgeous song only semi-bad thing is that in england we pronounce capillaries differently and it makes me giggle how he pronounces it which slightly takes away from the emotion in the song but not too much though! still love it. lol
apologies for the second comment lol i've had this album on repeat since i got it. this song is by far my favourite. the way he sings "oh, sweet lungs" etc. with such emotion sends shivers down my spine. it's perfect =]
