"I'd been wondering all this time, whether there's any meaning to a failed love. Is it something that will disappear the same as something that never existed. Now I know, there is meaning..there was a meaning...right here." – Takemoto [Honey and Clover]


Hey there, boy,
you got me thinking 'bout
those long hours I spent
just waiting 'round.
I can't spend
another day without
living my life now.

And hey there, boy,
you got me screaming out
loud and still the silence
is all around.
Can't I spend
another day without
living someone else's life.

I want to climb
the highest mountain.
Reach the peak
and let it all sink in.
Look down at the world
without blinking.
Just to see a million people
looking back at me.
I want to sail
the widest ocean.
Feel the air
and catch it in my hand.
Look up at the sky
without thinking.
Just to see a million thoughts
crash down on me.
I wanna breathe.

Hey there, boy,
you got me a little loud.
I can't stand the thought
of not living out
there where the world
spins around and around.

I gotta leap.
I gotta run.
I gotta drive.
I can't spend
another day not
living my life.

I want to climb
the highest mountain.
Reach the peak
and let it all sink in.
Look down at the world
without blinking.
Just to see a million people
looking back at me.
I want to sail
the widest ocean.
Feel the air
and catch it in my hand.
Look up at the sky
without thinking.
Just to see a million thoughts
crash down on me.
I wanna breathe.

Hey there, boy
you're making me
wanna breathe.

I gotta leap.
I gotta run.
I gotta drive.
I can't spend
another day not
living my life.
I gotta breathe.

I love this! Keep up the good work! I love the title! This is amazing! Check out some of my work if you have some extra time! Keep writing! :)

Whatever happens, happens. If you waste your time clinging to the past, your whole life will revolve around a figment of days gone by.
