Between Two Lungs

this is a beautifully crated song... I agree with cosmiclove "breath" here is a metaphor she uses for love or the famous 3 words "i love you".

i would intepret that the girl and the boy have feelings for each other for a long time but are just too shy to speak it out. that's why she kept repeating "trapped between 2 lungs" in the 2nd verse.

so, when the "breath" was released, it gave her the courage to move closer towards him and to start a relationship as stated in the 1st verse.

now, as they sleep, the boy professes his affection to her repeatedly as mention in the 1st chorus. since they are already a couple, she states that she doesn't need to steal glances at him, or look for love elsewhere. she feels as if flying after knowing how he felt towards her.

she vow to hold tight on to this relationship and pray to god that it will be forever. in the end, she reciprocates by proclaiming her love to him as they make love...as stated in the last 2 lines..

"As it pushes past my lips As I...dance"
