Just Breathe was written by Eddie Vedder, the lead vocalist of Pearl Jam. The song was inspired by an instrumental titled Tuolumne from Vedders solo album Into the Wild. The lyrics discuss the transience of life, love, and gratitude. It reflects on Vedders personal relationships and is a contemplation on life and death.
Yes, I understand that every life must end, uh-huh As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, uh-huh Oh I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands the ones I love Some folks just have one, yeah, others they've got none, uh-huh
Stay with me... Lets just breathe...
Practiced all my sins, never gonna let me win, uh-huh Under everything, just another human being, uh-huh I don't wanna hurt, there's so much in this world to make me bleed
Stay with me You're all I see...
Did I say that I need you? Did I say that I want you? Oh, if I didn't, I'm a fool you see No one knows this more than me As I come clean...
I wonder everyday, as I look upon your face, uh-huh Everything you gave and nothing you would take, oh no Nothing you would take, everything you gave...
Did I say that I need you? Oh, did I say that I want you? Oh, if I didn't, I'm a fool you see No one knows this more than me And I come clean, ah...
Nothing you would take, everything you gave Hold me 'till I die Meet you on the other side...
