"Breathe" by Alistair Goodwin
It ever lingers
You’ve got my heart wrapped in your fingers
And you squeeze
It lingers on
With a love so high, a love so strong
And well how can I ?
---
How d’you expect a love to last
When it’s grown so high, it grew so fast ?
And well how can I when I can hardly breathe ?
How d’you expect us to go on
With a love so high, a love so strong ?
And well how can I when I can hardly breathe ?
--
I can hardly speak
With a head so strong and a heart so weak
Well, how can I ?
Try to make a sound
But no words come out, I almost drown,
And well how can I swim ?
I can barely sleep.
---
How d’you expect a love to last
When it’s grown so high, it grew so fast ?
And well how can I when I can hardly breathe ?
How d’you expect us to go on
With a love so high, a love so strong ?
And well how can I when I can hardly breathe ?
---
It lingers on
With a love so high, a love so strong
And well how can I when I can hardly breathe ?
Head first and headlong
Deep into oblivion
I can’t seem to find my way out of here
Die cast, damage done
And it can’t be right if it feels so wrong
And I can’t go back, I can’t go on
Again
But it ever lingers
You’ve got my heart wrapped in your fingers
And you squeeze
You squeeze
---
How d’you expect a love to last
When it’s grown so high, it grew so fast ?
And well how can I when I can hardly breathe ?
How d’you expect us to go on
With a love so high, a love so strong ?
And well how can I when I can hardly breathe ?

The Alistair Goodwin Band Brighton, UK
The Alistair Goodwin Band recommends:
"Does what it says on the tin." These guys seem to be floating around creating sounds and music truly 'live'... as it should be. Mix of nice melodies, some quite transcient, all with a message.

Seriously, go here and press go. 10 seconds later, tell me you're not impressed. Great voice and lyrics sung with feeling. Bandcamp 'made' me find this. Brilliant !
