Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On Lyrics

Post by Matty »

I bought a cheap watch from the crazy man
Floating down Canal
It doesnt use numbers or moving hands
It always just says "now"

Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And if I had trouble the warranty said:
Breathe in, breathe out, move on


(Chorus)
And it rained
It was nothing really new
And it blew
Seen all that before
And it poured
The earth began to strain
Pontchartrain leaking through the door, tides at war

If a hurricane doesnt leave you dead
It will make you strong
Dont try to explain it just nod your head
Breathe in, breathe out, move on


And it rained
It was nothing really new
And it blew
Seen all that before
And it poured
The earth began to strain
Pontchartrain buried the 9th ward to the 2nd floor

According to my watch, the time is now
The past is dead and gone
Don't try to shake it, just nod your head
Breathe in, breathe out, move on

Dont try to explain it, just bow your head
Breathe in, Breathe Out, Move on....
While the embers from the logfire
They flicker, fly and twirl
Then drift off towards the cosmos
From the Far Side Of The World
Quiet and Shy

And a wonderful song...really captures it all well.

Here's how this song was introduced to the world last night:

Steve:
And, here comes Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On, your chance to, mention your dear friend Matt Betton.

Jimmy:
Yah, I mean Matt has always been another of those people, that has, I think Matt can write as good a Jimmy songs, or from knowing me, as I can. And he has definitely proved that in the past with If It All Falls Down, Apocalypso. And he sent me this.

And of course! After Katrina, I was deeply affected by that. I mean, I remember being on stage at Wrigley field while New Orleans was flooding.

You know, and it's still terrible down there. And then, we as country, we should just be god-damB-d ashamed of the way things are, are being handled down there. And I feel passionate about that.

But, that said! You gotta move on! And, you know, we do our best, and I think saving the cultural heartland of America is something that, that I'm gonna be involved with. And on a daily basis, I'm still working, because the world moves on, and, in a way, it should, but, things need to be still tended to so...

Yah, I was not gonna, not say something in an album about what happened down there, and for the people that still live there, I think, I hope that this song just says yah, I mean, we gotta deal with it and move on. No matter how bad it is so...

That's kinda the, a quiet gesture, and not an in your face kinda thing that I wanted to do on this song.


... Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On

Sonofabeach, I actually mentioned that at our listening party here, while they debuted BIBOMO. The opening chord especially sounds like ITPDRIM.
