lyrics

A reminder to stand tall
Under ceilings low
It was easy to forget
It was easy to be small

Just before a sudden snow
The first flake kissed the ground
I assured you I was lost
You assured me I'd been found

I wanted to be saved, but not like this
Drowning in a sea of helplessness
It was easier to breathe before we kissed;
You took my breath away

If it was cold that winter night,
I was unaware
You embraced my every flaw
You erased my every care

Now a year has crept away
I feel you by my side
And the passing of the time
Never fails to make me cry

I wanted to be saved, but not like this
Drowning in a sea of helplessness
It was easier to breathe before we kissed;
You took my breath away

And all the air surrounding me
Never tasted so sweet
And all the ways I used to be
Never felt so free

I wanted to be saved, just like this
Floating on a sea of helplessness
So much easier to breathe after each kiss
You take my breath away

I'm trying to believe that this is real
Praying I can give my heart until
All that's left of it is yours alone to steal
Like you stole my breath away
