Written in August of 1999 in Moorhead, MN.
The humidity on this particular August night was unbearable. I lived in between a swamp and a river in a house with no air conditioning. At 3am when this song happened there was condensation running off the top of my guitar. Sleep was out of the question.
Lyrics
Swim in my room
Can you feel the air around us?
Move
Free
Breathe
Embrace the heat
There is no way to escape it
Rise
Feel
Breathe
Breathe deep with me
Welcome the night
Notice now that there is no wind
And move
Free
Breathe
Expect the rain
Predict that you cannot know it
Fall
Free
Breathe
Breathe deep with me
Look above the clouds
See that the sun is always shining
Move
Free
Breathe
Swim in my room
Can you feel the air around us?
Move
Free
Breathe
Breathe deep with me
Lie still...breathe
