A friend I had once told me
Such an unusual story
Of a man who did breathe in
But never did breathe out
This tale reminds me of you
Though a different shade of blue
You cannot always take and never give
This is not how to live
You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta spread a little love all around
Though I don't know this for sure
Just another knock at my door
A sprinkling of an inkling
Underneath an apple tree
I'll tell you when I find out
And show you what it is to breathe out
A natural progression lesson
Messing up your mind
You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta spread a little love all around
You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta spread a little love all around
I feel in you another way to be
Yeah , yeah , yeah
I watch as you breathe over me
Yeah , yeah , yeah , I'm breathing
Like a tale on Jackanory
The end to this unusual story
Is a breath upon a window pane , so come on
Step out of the rain , yeah yeah
Thought I'd like to think this were true
You've become a deeper shade of blue
In my eyes , this comes as no surprise
You've nothing left to give , no
You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta spread a little love all around
You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta spread a little love all around
Breathe in and out
Spread a little love
You gotta breathe in and out
You gotta breathe in and out breathe in and out
You gotta breathe
