Catch My Breath

Elise Trouw


How can you, even say words
You don't really mean anymore?
Seasons pass fall to spring
Finding I search out hope in
Everything

Reaching finish lines to find
Ourselves in last place
Never looking behind 'till it's
Too late

We falter and stumble until
We break into a run
That leads us in circles, until
There's only one
Trying to catch my breath

Solitude day to day, dreaming
At times that I'll just slip away
Then everything's okay, and sadness
Is even less than memories

Reciting the lines we both have
Said so many
Time and time again our words
Succumb to silence

We falter and stumble until
We break into a run
That leads us in circles, until
There's only one
Trying to catch my breath

Lie to me, demanding I give
Nothing but all my honesty

We falter and stumble until
We break into a run
That leads us in circles, until
There's only one
Trying to catch my breath
