A friend I had once told me  Such an unusual story  Of a man who did breathe in,  But never did breathe out  This tale reminds me of you  Though a different shade of blue  You cannot always take and never give,  This is not how to life    You gotta breathe in and out  You gotta spread a little love all around  Though I don't know this for sure  Just another knock at my door  A sprinkling of an inkling underneath an apple tree  I'll tell you when I find out  And show you what it is to breathe out  A natural progression lesson messing up your mind    You gotta breathe in and out  You gotta spread a little love all around  You gotta breathe in and out  You gotta spread a little love all around    I feel in you, another way to be  I watch as you breathe over me, I'm breathing    Like a tale on Jackanory  The end to this unusual story  Is a breath upon a window pane, so come on,  Step out of the rain    Thought I'd like to think this were true  You've become a deeper shade of blue  In my eyes, this comes as no surprise,  You've nothing left to give...no    You gotta breathe in and out   You gotta spread a little love all around  You gotta breathe in and out  You gotta spread a little love all around    [Repeat and fade]
