Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Phone buzzing on the table Three screens One tired stare Coffee cold Heart unstable Half here Half out of air Smiling in the hallway Holding in a storm Jokes about “I’m fine Yeah” While your pulse is running warm [Chorus] We all need a little breathing room Step back from the panic in the afternoon It’s alright to say “I’m not okay” (hey!) That’s how the healing finds its way You’re not weak for asking for some help Stronger when you don’t go through it by yourself In the rush In the noise In the pressure and the gloom We all need a little breathing room [Verse 2] Boss calling “Can you stay late?” Your chest says “please say no” You write “sure” in the email But your hands are moving slow Text your friend “you free later?” Talk it out on a walk Little cracks let the light in When you finally start to talk (oh yeah) [Chorus] We all need a little breathing room Step back from the panic in the afternoon It’s alright to say “I’m not okay” (hey!) That’s how the healing finds its way You’re not weak for asking for some help Stronger when you don’t go through it by yourself In the rush In the noise In the pressure and the gloom We all need a little breathing room [Bridge] Take a lap round the building Count your breath One to four Tell your fear “You’re not driving” You can’t steer anymore Write it down on a sticky “I deserve to feel well” Little truths on the mirror Breaking through the spell [Chorus] We all need a little breathing room Step back from the panic in the afternoon It’s alright to say “I’m not okay” (hey!) That’s how the healing finds its way You’re not weak for asking for some help Stronger when you don’t go through it by yourself In the rush In the noise In the pressure and the gloom We all need a little breathing room
