about

this is the original version of Shallow Breath
I was unhappy with my part on it so I decided to rewrite and rerecord it. Not sure how much longer I'll keep this up!
-Gavin

lyrics

my freezing hands
your shallow breath
i'll have a smoke
while you get some rest

i'll try not to wake you
walking out the back door
i'm not sure who this was for

in the dead of winter
you warm my heart
in the air of summer
the fading starts

i guess this is how we fall apart

and i'm not sure
where to start
how to begin
reset your heart

but we're just broken people
from the start
