I Will Do the Breathing Lyrics

I saw you crying in the rear-view mirror
Some things are closer than they appear

I'll keep on driving 'til your hands get steady
The road is long and there's no hurry

I will do the breathing until you are able to come up for air
I will be the feathers on the wings of the bird that flies you where ever you need to go...

I saw you standing on an alter, or a mountain
So much taller than the whole congregation

I heard it cracking in the air all around you
Broken words and fire, too

I will do the breathing until you are able to come up for air
I will be the feathers on the wings of the bird that flies you where ever you need to go...

I saw you working all alone.
A little girl far from home.

I will do the breathing until you are able to come up for air
I will be the feathers on the wings of the bird that flies you where ever you need to go...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
