The song seems pretty straightforward. The speaker is lost in his life and is desperately trying to find their way and will to continue living.
The title, and the lines "Saint Anthony / I hear he can help me find the things I need," reference Anthony of Padua, whom the Catholic Church attributes miracles relating to the Finding of Lost Things.
One legend, The Miracle of the Jealous Husband, tells of a woman who was murdered by her husband for adultery. After finding out the truth, the man begs Saint Anthony for forgiveness, and Anthony brings the woman back to life. Bearing this in mind, while I agree with the users above that the line sounds a lot more like "Breathe, you're alive," it would make sense (and be pretty cool) if the line was "Breathe her alive."
