The Asthmatic Songtext
von First Aid Kit

Because you will not overthrow your life
You cannot breathe

Because of the panic of homelessness
You cannot breathe

Because you have begun to worship time
You cannot breathe

Because you will never have the beautiful one
You cannot breathe

Because you will not sail into the small harbour and enter the village
You cannot breathe

Because your sorrow will not return to its birthplace
You cannot breathe

Because you believe you were not meant to be so far away
You cannot breathe


Because this is the valley of the shadow of death
You cannot breathe

The boat has brought you here
The boat has brought you here
The boat has brought you here
The boat has brought you here

The butterfly has sealed your escape
The butterfly has sealed your escape
The butterfly has sealed your escape
The butterfly has sealed your escape

Because you cannot be here
Because you cannot be here
Because you cannot be here
Because you cannot be here

You cannot breathe
