Lyrics

Take my body take my breath
But don’t abuse the rest
I’ll need my strength to answer you
When you decide to call
And I decide to fall
And I decide that atoms can collide
And beauty deep inside 
Will poison your pessimistic mind

Take your time and take your toll
But come in from the cold
And warm your body by the fire
It’s easy not to burn
And easy not to learn
And easy not to turn your life around
Let beauty all around
Poison your pessimistic mind

Turn your head and turn your cheek
It doesn’t mean you’re weak
We’re strong enough to overcome
The broken failing wing
I’ve broken many things
I’m broken but I’m working on the mend
So this won’t have to end
And you’ll take my body and breath

And someday we’ll find our way home
And someday we’ll find our way home 
Find our way back home, take my body and breath
Take my body and breath

Take my love and take my life
But don’t pick up the knife
And cut a hole where once you loved
To lay your head to rest
In the middle of my chest
In the middle of the worst and best of us
My heart still beats for us
And you have my body and breath

And someday we’ll find our way home
