Breathing

Progress In Color

I can't breathe!
Is that you standing there?
It's not your heart.
As it begins to beat.

Come quick!
the waters up to my neck,
and I can barely breathe,
yet all you say
is "Take it slowly!"

By slowly I assume you mean
that this will be
another one, just like before

Just like before,
I'm on my own.
Just like before,
I'm on my own.
on my own.

I can't breathe!
Is that you standing there?
It's not your heart.
As it begins to beat.
I swear we're losing ground.

So lets say,
you've done this all before
cause I know you play your games,
and I run the same.
we've been here now.
just like we said.
it's breaking out.
we're going now.

I can't breathe!
Is that you standing there?
It's not your heart.
Cause it's not like before.
I swear we're skipping beats.

With this heart you take,
my pain.
With this heart you break,
these chains.
With this heart you take,
my pain.
With this heart you break,
these chains.

I can't breathe!
Is that you standing there?
It can't be your heart.
Cause it's not like before.
Watch as it falls apart!

    i think this song is about a boy, who is in a relationship that's fading. the girls made changes in her life and she's not the girl he's fell in love with, hence the "Is that you standing there? It can't be your heart. Cause it's not like before. Watch as it falls apart!" this seems to be a reoccuring thing to him, hence the "just like before he's on his own" girls also keep playing games with him, making him think that they have something between them that it never could fade and when it starts to fade out, he panics because he "can't breathe, is that you standing there?" i also believe she promised to keep his heart safe and they'll always be in love,

    this song is based off os pslam 69 or so it says on their myspace. its about being lost and adrift, going through lifes challenges and not being able to make it on your own and needing God to come rescue. It kinda like a dialouge, calling out to God, not being like before you were with Him. or atleast that how i see it as
