lyrics

Don't
take it all at once
bit by bit please

bit by bit

that way,
it lingers on the tongue
like a sweet dream
like a sweet...

a little sleep
is what I need
it's what I need

say, swan king
you're standing in the snow
and your footprints,
they look like ghosts

and swan king
looks back straight at me
and says "hey sweet thing,
don't you know?

that it's time
time you catched your breath,
stow it in your heart,
tie it to your wrist
time you catched your breath”

time you catched your breath
time you catched your breath

swan king,
teach me how to write
in a straight line,
in this strange life

hey kid, no more regrets
straighten up your back
there you got the hang of it

time you catched your breath
time you catched your breath (x3)

time you catched your breath
time you catched your soul

welcome home,
hello
