Breathe it in
Breathe it out
Your heart's beating
Your heart's beating
Faded eyes
Full of doubt
Time's fleeting
Time's leaving
Time's fleeting
Time's leaving
Your heart's beating
What's the meaning?
You swear they could've cut the tension with a knife
Your heart's beating but it don't beat right
Your luck always seems to run in short supply
And now you're losing in this game called life
Chorus:
(Hypertension)
I'm leaving behind pieces of myself on the side of road
Every time I get asked my name I don't wanna know
I wanna go someplace and start over again where I can make a new home and be alone
And all the cares you left behind
They'll never be as easy to find
Like an insect you have no spine
You crawl around to find some hole to climb in
You know it
Chorus:
I know I could've been somebody else
You know I could've been somebody else
My youthful portrait's on your shelf
And no one recognizes me unless you lend suggestive help
They know I could've been somebody else
They know I could've been somebody else
Chorus:
