Pearl Jam – Just Breathe lyrics
Verse 1:
Yes I understand that every life must end, aw huh...
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, aw huh...
I'm a lucky man to count on both hands
The ones I love...

Some folks just have one
Others they got none, aw huh...

Chorus 1:
Stay with me
Let's just breathe

Verse 2:
Practiced are my sins
Never gonna let me win, aw huh...
Under everything, just another human being, aw huh...
Yea, I don't wanna hurt, there's so much in this world
To make me bleed

Chorus 2:
Stay with me
You're all I see

Bridge 1:
Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
As I come clean

Verse: 3
I wonder everything
As I look upon your face, aw huh...
Everything you gave
And nothing you would take, aw huh...
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave

Bridge 2:
Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
As I come clean

Outro:
Nothing you would take
Everything you gave
Hold me 'till I die
Meet you on the other side

    For me I feel this song is about a man reflecting on his whole life - one who lived by having what he wanted as a younger man, hurting the one closest to him. Now he sees so clearly "no one knows this more than me as i come clean" as an older man his mortality and regrets for not living his life wanting what he already had and telling the one closest to him "that i need you, that i want you"
