Lyrics of Those Lungs by Alkaline Trio
verse
Now I lay me down to pass out wasted again
Guess that makes this the 7th 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 would you promise to keep us together?
chorus
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
chorus
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
verse
How did it happen 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 and wait 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
chorus
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
chorus
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
bridge
Please don't lose your tongue
Please don't lose those lungs, yeah
chorus
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
chorus
And when you're finally able to fall asleep
Though the sun might disagree
I am gonna lay right there and watch you breathe
'Til you wake up to me
