Rather Be Breathing Lyrics


Ward Thomas Rather Be Breathing

[Verse 1]
Everybody's looking for the high life
Living the dream but it don't feel right
So lost inside this fantasy
I'm scared it's gonna swallow me

[Chorus]
You can offer me all the fortune and the fame of a king
With a castle so high that no one else can come in
And you can tell me that I don't have enough of these things
But I'd rather be breathing
No, I'd rather be

[Post-Chorus]
I'd rather be breathing
I'd rather be breathing
I'd rather be breathing
I'd rather be breathing

[Verse 2]
Standing at the foot of a mountain
Only walked a couple steps but who's counting?
If there's anybody up there
Won't you let me stay a while?

[Chorus]
You can offer me all the fortune and the fame of a king
With a castle so high that no one else can come in
And you can tell me that I don't have enough of these things
But I'd rather be breathing
No, I'd rather be

[Post-Chorus]
I'd rather be breathing
I'd rather be breathing

[Bridge]
You can offer me
(You can offer me all the)
Silver and gold
(You can offer me all the)
You can offer me

[Chorus]
You can offer me all the fortune and the fame of a king
With a castle so high that no one else can come in
And you can tell me that I don't have enough of these things
But I'd rather be breathing
No, I'd rather be

[Post-Chorus]
I'd rather be breathing
I'd rather be breathing
I'd rather be breathing
