don't hold your breath

I've got needs and you don't have to meet 'em
But wouldn't it be sweet if you did
I need a love to shine shine a light on
A home and a dog and a kid

I've got friends and you don't have to meet 'em
But wouldn't it be nice if you did
We'd stay up all night
With the right kinda people
The kind who are kind and you fit

in

These uncertain times
I need a friend to talk me through
The maze of my own mind when the pain hits
She says you'll get through

Don't hold your breath waiting for him
Don't hold your breath waiting for me
Don't hold your breath waiting for all you need
Don't hold your breath waiting for love
Don't hold your breath waiting for peace
Don't hold your breath you've got to breathe
Just breathe

I've got folks and you don't have to meet 'em
You'd get me more if you did
And yours are fine if you stand stand a way back
We'll smile and nod and show off the kid

in

These uncertain times
I need a love to get me through
I don't need a lot but I think you need me
And I need you

(She says)

Don't hold your breath waiting for him
Don't hold your breath waiting for me
Don't hold your breath waiting for all you need
Don't hold your breath waiting for love
Don't hold your breath waiting for peace
Don't hold your breath you've got to breathe
Just breathe

I've got a god and you don't have to see 'im
Can't say I ever did
I have these dreams and I see it coming
But I won't die, not before I live

in

These uncertain times
I need a friend to watch my back
And take me to higher ground
When the waters hit and we step back

(She says)

Don't hold your breath waiting for him
Don't hold your breath waiting for me
Don't hold your breath waiting for all you need
Don't hold your breath waiting for love
Don't hold your breath waiting for peace
Don't hold your breath you've got to breathe
Just breathe
