Try Not To Breathe

R.E.M.

Automatic For The People

I will try not to breathe
I can hold my head still with my hands at my knees
These eyes are the eyes of the old
Shiver and fold

I will try not to breathe
This decision is mine, I have lived a full life
And these are the eyes
That I want you to remember

Oooh, I need something to fly over my grave again
I need something to breathe
 
I will try not to burden you
I can hold these inside, I will hold my breath
Until all these shivers subside
Just look in my eyes
 
I will try not to worry you
I have seen things that you will never see
Leave it to memory me
I shudder to breathe

I want you to remember, oooh (you will never see)
I need something to fly over my grave again (something to fly, you will never see)
I need something to breathe (something to breathe)
Baby, don't shiver now, why do you shiver now? (I will see things you will never see)
I need something to fly over my grave again (something to fly, I will see things you will
never see)
I need something to breathe

Oooooh
Oooooh
Oooooh
 
I will try not to worry you
I have seen things that you will never see
Leave it to memory me
Don't dare me to breathe

I want you to remember, oooh (you will never see)
I need something to fly over my grave again (something to fly, you will never see)
I need something to breathe (something to breathe)
Baby, don't shiver now, why do you shiver now? (I will see things you will never see)
I need something to breathe (I will see things you will never see)
I want you to remember
