Breathing You In

[Verse 1A]
The night wraps around us, your head on my chest
Time slows to silence -- I forget all the rest
I feel every heartbeat like it's calling my name
And nothing else matters, not fortune or fame
[Verse 1B]
Your breath on my skin is a whisper of light
You stir in your sleep and I'm holding on tight
The world disappears when you're here in my arms
I'd trade every lifetime for just one of your charms

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need the sunrise to know where I've been
I find heaven each time I breathe you in

[Chorus]
Breathing you in like it's more than a need
Like fire in my chest when your soul touches me
Every moment, I fall all over again
You're the calm in the storm and the rush in the wind
Breathing you in like the first breath of spring
You're the rhythm, the reason, the ache in my skin
I don't want to close my eyes on this spin
I'm holding you close... breathing you in

[Verse 2A]
You smile in your sleep, and the room starts to glow
There's magic in moments the daylight won't know
[Verse 2B]
I trace every line that was carved just for me
And time turns to velvet when you're all I see

[Pre-Chorus]
No words ever reach where this feeling begins
It's deeper than love when I breathe you in

[Chorus]
Breathing you in like it's more than a need
Like fire in my chest when your soul touches me
Every moment, I fall all over again
You're the calm in the storm and the rush in the wind
Breathing you in like the first breath of spring
You're the rhythm, the reason, the ache in my skin
I don't want to close my eyes on this spin
I'm holding you close... breathing you in

[Bridge]
Even the stars can't outshine this night
When your heartbeat is beating right into mine
Don't wake me, don't break me, just stay where you've been
I'm alive in this moment... breathing you in

[Final Chorus]
Breathing you in like it's all I've ever known
Like a flame in the dark when I'm feeling alone
You're the one I believe, you're my shelter, my sin
I could die in this moment -- breathing you in
Breathing you in, like the end and the start
You're the song I still carry deep into my heart
I don't want to miss what's already begun
So I'm holding you now... and breathing you in
