Nerina Pallot - Learning To Breathe - Chris Lord-Alge Mix remastered lyrics

Oh, this road is long, this road is wide It takes more than luck to last the ride It takes strength and it takes courage to survive And did someone ever say to you "There's nothing bound in thought you cannot do?" Well, I've seen some things but not all of them came true So I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first Don't want to be alone with my thoughts tomorrow And I don't want to be afraid, don't want to look away I'm learning to breathe No I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first I just need a hope and a light to follow Like sailors look to stars to find their way home I'm learning to breathe on my own And I know a man who lost his wife This is the way he chooses to describe his life He says, "If I think too much, I find there's just a hole," But before she went, she left a son He says, "Dad, you're not the only one Maybe love is just a requiem for the soul..." So I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first Don't want to be alone with my thoughts tomorrow And I don't want to be afraid, don't want to look away I'm learning to breathe No I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first I just need a hope and a light to follow Like sailors look to stars to find their way home I'm learning to breathe on my own Oh, do you still feel small? Just a speck of life on an ocean wave Does it pull us all? Does it pull us all? So I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first Don't want to be alone with my thoughts tomorrow And I don't want to be afraid, don't want to look away I'm learning to breathe No I don't want to be the last, I don't want to be the first I just need a hope and a light to follow Like sailors look to stars to find their way home I'm learning to breathe on my own
