It may not be clear what I'm attempting to say here, but there is a message. lol I may not like the bridge tomorrow, so am posting this now. ;)
WHEN YOU’RE OUT OF BREATH
Almost isn’t close enough
It’s good but it doesn’t count
You try and do your best
And hope to figure it out
Should have isn’t would have
Life isn’t always right
You can wish things were fair
But you will lose that fight
[ch]
And when you’re out of breath
Can’t speak
It’s where you want to be
You see
Endure every muscle ache
Don’t ever pump the brakes
Cuz when you’re out of breath
You believe…
There are wheels and deals
Charlatans and fakes
You trust what makes the most sense
Forgive your mistakes
There are hills and thrills
Each one worth the trip
Take a turn don’t be afraid
You won’t lose your grip
[ch]
And when you’re out of breath
Can’t speak
It’s where you want to be
You see
Endure every muscle ache
Don’t ever pump the brakes
Cuz when you’re out of breath
You believe…
[br]
Tomorrow can be anything
Or nothing at all
You know you are a natural
Who’s always got the ball
Repeat ch

Beautifully written lyrics with an awesome message, in deed... I like the inner rhymes in lines like "There are wheels and deals" or "There are hills and thrills". In fact, I guess there are several messages, one of which is "you have to fight for what you believe in", another one could be "you can only get aware of the things that matter when you slow down and make a break to contemplate". You reach deep philosophical spheres here, Kristi, a great and thoughtful write!
