At first I was scared when I opened up my head
and the motor that was running was the mind of you
I was scared when I looked at my reflection
and the shine I saw were the eyes of you
I was scared when you touched my lips
and the breath I took was the breath that
shook me with a shock
Like a flame as eternal as the song
and the song is you
And I will let you breathe through me
I will let you be with me
Whenever I'm alone and you're lost out there
I can feel you breathe 'cause our lungs we share
When I'm alone anytime, anywhere
I can feel your heart beat 'cause our blood we share
I was scared when you came into the room
the walls became the sea, your voice was the moon
Oh, and when you rocked me in your arms
like a song, a wave on the tide of you
Chorus
My heart beats your blood
Your breath fills my lungs
Your heart beats my blood
My breath fills your lungs
I was scared when you came into the room
the walls became the sea, your voice the moon
Oh, and when you rocked me in your arms...
Be with me <---- Note: Extra F here before chorus
