Alkaline Trio - Those Lungs lyrics
[Alkaline Trio - Those Lungs lyrics]
Now I lay me down to pass out wasted again
Guess that makes this the
Seventh time this week
And there's some words in my head
That could keep me from dying
Are you handling this any better than I am?
If I keep it together
Will you promise to keep us together?
Oh, sometimes we lose each other
But please, don't lose your tongue
When I get home, I'll keep you up for hours
I'm gonna need breath in those lungs
And when you're finally able to fall asleep
Though the sun might disagree
I'm gonna lay right there
And watch you breathe 'Til you wake up to me
How's it happened that I get to
Have you for so long?
And then you're just ripped away from me
As I get tossed out to the sea
To fight the sharks out there
Waiting for a wind swell
Oh, I'm kind of like a sailor, back in 1942
Yeah, I wanna fight the good fight
But goddamn, I'm gonna miss you
Oh, sometimes we lose each other
But please, don't lose your tongue
When I get home, I'll keep you up for hours
I'm gonna need breath in those lungs
And when you're finally able to fall asleep
Though the sun might disagree
I'm gonna lay right there
And watch you breathe 'Til you wake up to me
Please don't lose your tongue
Please don't lose those lungs yeah!
Oh, sometimes we lose each other
But please, don't lose your tongue
When I get home, I'll keep you up for hours
I'm gonna need breath in those lungs
And when you're finally able to fall asleep
Though the sun might disagree
I'm gonna lay right there
And watch you breathe 'Til you wake up to me
Guess that makes this the
Seventh time this week
And there's some words in my head
That could keep me from dying
Are you handling this any better than I am?
If I keep it together
Will you promise to keep us together?
Oh, sometimes we lose each other
But please, don't lose your tongue
When I get home, I'll keep you up for hours
I'm gonna need breath in those lungs
And when you're finally able to fall asleep
Though the sun might disagree
I'm gonna lay right there
And watch you breathe 'Til you wake up to me
How's it happened that I get to
Have you for so long?
And then you're just ripped away from me
As I get tossed out to the sea
To fight the sharks out there
Waiting for a wind swell
Oh, I'm kind of like a sailor, back in 1942
Yeah, I wanna fight the good fight
But goddamn, I'm gonna miss you
Oh, sometimes we lose each other
But please, don't lose your tongue
When I get home, I'll keep you up for hours
I'm gonna need breath in those lungs
And when you're finally able to fall asleep

And watch you breathe 'Til you wake up to me
Please don't lose your tongue
Please don't lose those lungs yeah!
Oh, sometimes we lose each other

I'm gonna need breath in those lungs
And when you're finally able to fall asleep

I'm gonna lay right there
And watch you breathe 'Til you wake up to me
