Intro

        

Verse 1

I will try not to breathe
I can hold my head still with my hands at my knees
These eyes are the eyes of the old,  
shiver and fold   

Verse 2

I will try not to breathe,
This decision is mine, I have lived a full life 
and these are the eyes that I want you to remember
Oh..... 

Chorus

I need something to fly over my grave again  
I need something to breathe 

Verse 3

I will try not to burden you. I can hold these inside
I will hold my breath until all these shivers subside  
Just look in my eyes   

Verse 4

I will try not to worry you. I have seen things that you will never see
Leave it to memory me. I shudder to breathe   

Bridge

I want you to remember. Oh, (you will never see)

Chorus

I need something to fly
(something to fly)
Over my grave again (you will never see)
I need something to breathe
(something to breathe)
Baby, don't shiver now,
(I have seen things you)
Why do you shiver now
(will never see)
I need something to fly
Over my grave again  
(I have seen things you will never see)
I need something to breathe

Interlude

Oh-oh-oh-ohhhhh
Oh-oh-oh-ohhhhh Oh-oh-ohhhh

Verse 5

I will try not to worry you. I have seen things that you will never see
Leave it to memory me. Don't dare me to breathe   

Bridge

I want you to remember. Oh, (you will never see)

Chorus

I need something to fly
(something to fly)
Over my grave again (you will never see)
I need something to breathe
(something to breathe)
Baby, don't shiver now
(I have seen things you)
Why do you shiver now
(will never see)
I need something to breathe (I have seen things you will never see)
I want you to remember
