Intro
(Inhale) (Exhale) (Inhale) (Exhale)
Verse 1
Your left hand has a paper cut. Your right one wears a ring. Your eyes go red when sleep runs short. You laugh before you think. A child has left the hallway on. A plate is kept for late. Somebody hears your key outside and knows you by the gate.
Pre-chorus
I don't know what you call the past. You don't know what I fear. But when your ribs rise under cloth, I know you're standing here.
Chorus
Air in. Air out. Your chest. My chest. Air in. Air out. You get home. I get home.
Post-chorus
Same air. Different doors. Same air. Different scars.
Verse 2
You mark a box I would not mark. You trust a voice I doubt. You tell the old hurt one way back. I tell it inside out. Your fear can sound like noise to me. Mine can sound strange to you. Two kitchens keep a plate wrapped warm. Two porch lights wait past two.
Chorus
Air in. Air out. Your pulse. My pulse. Air in. Air out. You get home. I get home.
Post-chorus
Same air. Different words. Same air. Different pasts.
Bridge
(Inhale) (Exhale) (Inhale) (Exhale) Hands clap. Breath lands. Hands clap. Breath lands.
Chorus
Air in. Air in Air out. Air out Your chest. Your chest My chest. My chest Air in. Air in Air out. Air out You get home. I get home.
Post-chorus
Same air. Same air Different names. Different names Same air. Same air Alive anyway. Alive anyway
Outro

Inside the recording
Your left hand has a paper cut. Your right one wears a ring.
I don't know what you call the past. You don't know what I fear.
Same air. Same air Different names. Different names
