Holding My Breath
by: Dave Shaffer
Driving by your place in the morning
And going dancing in the darkness
I thought I'd never feel
I always think I'll never feel
Singing songs to you about nothing
Because nothing fits the moment
You know I'd love to know
But I'm a little scared to ask
So I'll take a chance
I'm holding my breath
So you can't forget me
The smell of flowers is your illusion
And morning fog is my confusion
But roses always bloom in the day
And fog will melt away
I feel this warm sunshine is beaming
So wake me up; I must be dreaming
I know the feeling must be true
But do I know it's you?
So I'll take a chance
I'm holding my breath
So you can't forget me
But I am just a man
And I'm never gonna know
If you won't let me
(repeat chorus)
Now I have a plan:
I'll swallow my fear
Cause I won't forget you
And you will take my hand
I'm so glad you're here
And I wonder where you've been
All this time.
