A friend I had once told me
Such an unusual story
Of a man who did breathe in,
But never did breathe out
This tale reminds me of you
Though a different shade of blue
You cannot always take and never give,
This is not how to life
You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta spread a little love all around
Though I don't know this for sure
Just another knock at my door
A sprinkling of an inkling underneath an apple tree
I'll tell you when I find out
And show you what it is to breathe out
A natural progression lesson messing up your mind
You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta spread a little love all around
You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta spread a little love all around
I feel in you, another way to be
I watch as you breathe over me, I'm breathing
Like a tale on Jackanory
The end to this unusual story
Is a breath upon a window pane, so come on,
Step out of the rain
Thought I'd like to think this were true
You've become a deeper shade of blue
In my eyes, this comes as no surprise,
You've nothing left to give...no
You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta spread a little love all around
You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta spread a little love all around
[Repeat and fade]

There was this girl I liked which this song applies to perfectly. I did so much for and she was more than happy with the attention but she, for whatever, reason never did reciprocate the affection. It was frustrating. She wasn’t being rude she just didn’t know what to do.
This song is about getting someone you want to be with to open up. After all, friendship and love is a 2-way street.
i think its about give and take
