Lyrics

Relief

I am in love, maybe for the first time
Maybe for the hundredth
It feels like hearing your name in every store
In every department

It's salve on a burn, the ease of an ache
I forgot that I had
It's getting out of my seat, walking to the front
And kneeling by the pulpit

I am relieved
You are relief
When you're with me
I can breathe

I didn't know I had a hurt in my heart
I didn't know I had a vacancy
I couldn't tell how tired I was
Until you put your arms around me

Sometimes I wonder if I'm losing myself
'Cause I got codependent tendencies
You held my hand, you never asked me to change
You just wanna be by me

I am relieved
You are relief
When you're with me
I can breathe

I can breathe
I can breathe
I can breathe

I can, I can, I can, I can
I can, I can, I can breathe, breathe
I can, I can, I can, I can

I can, I can (can), I can, I can
I can breathe (I can breathe)
I can breathe (know I can)

I can (know I) breathe (breathe, breathe)
I (you can, what is it?)
Can

Know I, know I, know I-know I, know I, know I
