Take a Breath Lyrics
I walked across a crowded street
A sea of eyes cut through me
And I saw you in the middle
Your upset face, you wear it well
You camouflage the way you feel
When everything's the matter
We've all been down that road before
Searching for that something more
Worlds are spinning round
There's no sign of slowing down
So won't you take a breath?
Just take a breath
People change and promises are broken
Clouds can move and skies will be wide open
Don't forget to take a breath
Blink our eyes
Life's rearranged
To our surprise, it's still okay
It's the way things happen
Summer comes and then it goes
Hold on tight and brace for cold
And it's only for a moment
We've all been down that road before
Searching for that something more
Worlds are spinning round
There's no sign of slowing down
So won't you take a breath?
Just take a breath
People change and promises are broken
Clouds can move and skies will be wide open
Don't forget to take a breath
Life isn't suffocating
Air isn't overrated
Worlds are spinning round
There's no sign of slowing down
So won't you take a breath?
Just take a breath
Worlds are spinning round
There's no sign of slowing down
So won't you take a breath?
Just take a breath
Take a breath
People change and promises are broken
Clouds can move and skies will be wide open
Don't forget to take a breath
Worlds are spinning round
There's no sign of slowing down
So won't you...
Don't forget to take a breath
(Don't forget to take a breath)
A sea of eyes cut through me
And I saw you in the middle
Your upset face, you wear it well
You camouflage the way you feel
When everything's the matter
Searching for that something more
There's no sign of slowing down
So won't you take a breath?
Just take a breath
People change and promises are broken
Clouds can move and skies will be wide open
Don't forget to take a breath
Life's rearranged
To our surprise, it's still okay
It's the way things happen
Summer comes and then it goes
Hold on tight and brace for cold
And it's only for a moment
Searching for that something more
There's no sign of slowing down
So won't you take a breath?
Just take a breath
People change and promises are broken
Clouds can move and skies will be wide open
Don't forget to take a breath
Air isn't overrated
There's no sign of slowing down
So won't you take a breath?
Just take a breath
There's no sign of slowing down
So won't you take a breath?
Just take a breath
Take a breath
People change and promises are broken
Clouds can move and skies will be wide open
Don't forget to take a breath
There's no sign of slowing down
So won't you...
Don't forget to take a breath
(Don't forget to take a breath)

This song is genius. These boys keep on getting better and better, lyrically and musically. Joseph's voice is so chilling in the verses. I love it.
This song is my new favorite song of theirs. I mean, it is so good! Often times people, especially those who are under a lot of stress, want to just give up because everything in their life is moving so quickly and time is going by so fast. This song is just encouraging to take one second and stop, and breath. I agree with michelle, their music does seem to progress with every song they write. Keep it coming JB!
i love this song soo much it is soo amazing their voices are soo beautiful and the song is just soo calming and real and true and everything i love it
i think these are one of the best lyrics the boys have had yet. also a great song. im a HUUUUGGEEE fan. [: ily jb.
this song is amazing. i cannot stop listening to it. i would i have to say, this is one of their best songs.
jb, i love you guys!!!!
very mature for the jonas brothers. probably my favorite. anyone can relate, really.
"Life isn't suffocating, air isn't overrated" for some reason i get maaaaaaaaaaaaaajor chills when joe sings "overrated". just listen to it.
this song is so amazing and extremely meaningful. i think that this song is about someone (probably a girl...) who is kind of depressed and kind of gave up on life, but she tries her best not to show the world how upset she really is. and i agree with gengen319 when she said that it was very mature for them. i think that they have improved so much since their start, and they just get better and better vocally, instrumentally, and lyrically (wow. those are some big words! lol.).
this song is my current obsession -- so amazing
i totally agree with you njroxmysox.... when i first heard the song, i totally related to the whole depression piece so this song goes deep for me. when i listened a little more, i started to think that it deals with suicide... like njroxmysox said, some girl is depressed, and is giving up on life, and it's about begging her to hang on. joe's voice in this, along with the harmonies makes it even more powerful.
this song is about being overwhelmed by a number of unfortunate event. Its basically saying just stop and take a breather.
