The Breathe

Lyrics

(Intro) I was wandering in the static, barely alive, barely breathing Until the autumn leaves fell in two thousand seventeen That’s when the frequency shifted, when the shadows cleared Because you, Anna, suddenly appeared. (Verse 1) With roots reaching back to Vietnam, but born on Austrian ground You are the most beautiful soul this fractured world has ever found Through miles of glowing wires between Vienna and my door In Upper Austria, I was pacing, only wanting you more Through the screens and the distance, your light cut through the night Anna, you made the heavy gravity feel light. (Chorus) Anna, you're the air I need to breathe inside my lungs The only melody that belongs upon my tongue You showed me what it means to be respected, loved, and seen The absolute best human that there has ever been You're my Herzensmensch, the center of my universe Anna, you saved me and broke my lonely curse. (Verse 2) The summer faded out into August, two thousand eighteen We finally traded the distance for our own shared scene With moving boxes stacked in Amstetten, our very first place I found my whole future just by looking at your face Anna, your warm and radiant aura fills these walls You catch me every single time this fragile spirit falls. (Chorus) Anna, you're the air I need to breathe inside my lungs The only melody that belongs upon my tongue You showed me what it means to be respected, loved, and seen The absolute best human that there has ever been You're my Herzensmensch, the center of my universe Anna, you saved me and broke my lonely curse. (Verse 3) I haven't always been perfect, I made some massive mistakes I built some reckless fires, pushed our bond to the breaks But you stood right beside me, without condition or doubt When I completely lost my way, you reached and pulled me out In the best and the worst times, your huge heart remained so true Anna, I never knew pure happiness until I knew you. (Chorus) Anna, you're the air I need to breathe inside my lungs The only melody that belongs upon my tongue You showed me what it means to be respected, loved, and seen The absolute best human that there has ever been You're my Herzensmensch, the center of my universe Anna, you saved me and broke my lonely curse. (Bridge) You are breathtakingly gorgeous, a force I can't explain My shelter in the chaos, my fire in the rain I wake up every single day so grateful you're by my side Through all of this beautiful life, you are my guide Every day is a privilege I never knew I could hold... Anna, our story is the greatest ever told! (Outro) Since the day I met you, I finally know what love is. My ultimate dream. My reality. Thank you for standing by me. I love you more than everything in this world. Forever my life, forever my home... Anna.
