I see you drivin’ into the sun:
10, 2, and squintin’, you’re on the run
to what must be done.
What if you were later today?
Or had a navigator to show the way,
to help you stay sane along the way?
Would it be such a sin to love the game, and not to win?
To just begin?

Whenever you’re ready,
just open up the window and breathe—
something more than oxygen.
Close your eyes and let it in.
Let me see you smile again.
Open up the window and breathe.
Take your time, but soon, you know,
it’s time to feel the cool breeze blow
through your hair
‘cause I’ll be there for you.

So now I got you out of the car. (Close your eyes.)
Don’t look where you’re going; look who you are:
you’re a shining star. (Even at the side of the road.)
Constellate yourself with my heart. (Let’s get Sirius.)
Light years between us; we’re not apart. (Nothing can Taurus apart.)
The earth can see the bond from you to me.
But still you try so hard!
If only you’d let down your guard,
the light you are
would shatter the dark!

So put down the ego and breathe—
something more than oxygen.
Close your eyes and let it in.
Let me see you smile again.
Roll down the window and breathe.
Take your time, but soon, you know,
it’s time to feel the cool breeze blow
through your hair
‘cause I’ll be there.

For you make me feel I can do anything.
So I feel I can do the same for you.
(You can do anything too.)
So tell me why you’re trying to be all things, all the time,
when I say you should just be you now?

Just breathe—
something more than oxygen.
Close your eyes and let it in.
Let me see you smile again.
Kick out the window and breathe.
Take your time, but soon, you know,
it’s time to feel the cool breeze blow
through your hair
‘cause I’ll be there.

All you gotta do is breathe—
something more than oxygen.
Close your eyes and let it in.
Let me see you smile again.
You’ve got to shatter the window and breathe.
Take your time, but soon, you know,
it’s time to feel the cool breeze blow
through your hair
‘cause I’ll be there for you.
