While I breathe Songtext
von Slim Loris

Looking at yet another birthday
The joy it used to bring me
Is now anxiety
Over things, I haven′t achieved

Found myself with new ways of thinking
Where my interests have changed
From daring to safe
From grandeur to plain

I feel your hand on mine
And my mind goes blank from all but now
While I breathe out

Restless and bored
Yet comfortably pleased with it all
I've never been old before


Needed by four generations
The safety net is gone
It′s been gone for long
It just hasn't hit home

Oh, I am carrying the world on my shoulders
So used to bounce off the wall
That when hitting it hard
I was completely caught off guard

I feel your hand in mine
And my mind goes blank from all but now
While I breathe out

Restless and bored
Yet comfortably pleased with it all
Like never before
Proud and in awe
Yet panicking to run for the door
No, I've never been old before
