I need to talk to him Yeah I'm obsessing and Watching the TV flicker These thoughts just keep on building Laying in total silence Descent down to total blackness There goes another hour Can you believe it's 5 PM? I'll leave a message He'll know before I see him We'll laugh like nothing happened Maybe I'm overreacting We won't touch the subject tonight The subject tonight Yeah! Oooh I'm barely breathing, oh! Oooh I'm barely breathing, breathing in the life Yeah How do I talk to him How do I raise the subjects Deal with his reaction Stand there while it's happening I'll give my explanation I'll look him in the eye He'll know I've got my reasons You believe I'm not a man I'm being honest Finally being honest Staring at the wall Staring at the calendar One look in your eyes tonight Your eyes tonight Yeah! Oooh I'm barely breathing, oh! Oooh I'm barely breathing, I'm breathing Ooohoh In the life!
