Exhale – English Lyrics

• By: R3HAB, Ella Vos

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I'll be yours one more night

Set the "can we talk?" to the side

Lay next to you, your limbs wrapped up with mine

We'll just stay there frozen in time

I've been holding my breath, straining my chest

Feeling the oxygen weigh me down

The tension's too much, and the sun's coming up

Thinking it's time that I exhale now

Breathe in and then breathe out

Time that I exhale now

It's all so different now

Time that I exhale

I was so sure I'd fall back in place

That I'd look in your eyes, and my mind would change

But here in your room, things just don't feel the same

Still, I hold tight, lips hesitate

I've been holding my breath, straining my chest

Feeling the oxygen weigh me down

The tension's too much, and the sun's coming up

Thinking it's time that I exhale now

Breathe in and then breathe out

Time that I exhale now

It's all so different now

Time that I exhale

Can I exhale now, now?

Oh, can I exhale now, now?

Oh, can I exhale now, now?

Oh, can I exhale now, now?

Oh
