Lyrics The Spill Canvas – Take One Breath

You gotta start trying to eat again
Even though the only thing you hunger for
Is to have back your friend
You gotta do your best to get some rest

If this house would collapse on top of me
The space would still remain
Much like her body refusing to function
Her soul won’t go away
Take one breath and then take another
Repeat these simple steps
Until you feel like you’re doing better
Take one breath
Just let the calm of it consume you
Everybody knows that it’s never fair
This be the only one thing we can do

You gotta keep your head above the water
Even though sweet suffocation is a fine temptation
You’ll always be her daughter
You gotta push onward through the day
Keep your mind constantly running gotta let the sun in
She would have wanted it that way

If this house would collapse on top of me
The space would still remain
Much like her body refusing to function
Her soul won’t go away

Take one breath and then take another
Repeat these simple steps
Until you feel like you’re doing better

At 4 a.m when you are wide awake and fighting with yourself
There’s about a thousand numbers to dial
Including mine if you need help
There is no easy way to deal with these events
But if it’s any consolation
I will be here, if you need a friend

Take one breath and then take another
Repeat these simple steps
Let the calm of it consume you
Everybody knows it’s never fair
There’s really only one this we can do.
