i stop and i breathe

we are still all right

we took it on the chin

but in the thirteenth hour

no one ever wins

but we're strong enough

like traffic all tied up

and when the static clears

the radios still buzz

and i stop and i breathe

'cause you wanted me

and i wanted you so bad

and i stop and i breathe

'cause i still believe

no one really knows what it is that we have

like blood in a vein

we chased this one down

and in the darkest long night

we turned it all around

and it was coal-dusted snow

that covered the fields

but the corn it still grew

and the injury healed

and i stop and i breathe

'cause you wanted me

and i wanted you so bad

and i stop and i breathe

'cause i still believe

no one really knows what it is that we have

and i stop and i breathe

'cause you wanted me

and i wanted you so bad

and i stop and i breathe

'cause i still believe

no one really knows what it is that we have
