Morning Coffee Break - Pearl Jam

Today’s song of the day comes from a small band from Seattle called Pearl Jam.  Have you heard of them? “Just Breathe” was released in 2009 on their ninth studio album Backspacer. This song shows the softer side to this rock band and maybe it's the chick in me, but every time I hear it, the waterworks show up. The lyrics are moving and the instrumental is light and simple, but I think the most simple of songs are the most powerful. Enjoy.

Pearl Jam – “Just Breathe”, Backspacer:

Yes, I understand that every life must end, ah-huh

As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, ah-huh

Oh I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands the ones I love
Some folks just have one, yeah, others, they've got none, huh-uh

Stay with me

Let’s just breathe

Practiced all my sins, never gonna let me win, ah-huh

Under everything, just another human being, ah-huh

Yeah, I don't wanna hurt, there's so much in this world to make me bleed

Stay with me

You’re all I see
Did I say that I need you?

Did I say that I want you?

Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see

No one knows this more than me

As I come clean

I wonder everyday as I look upon your face, ah-huh

Everything you gave, and nothing you would take, ah -huh

Nothing you would take

Everything you gave

Did I say that I need you?

Oh, did I say that I want you?

Oh, if I didn't I'm a fool you see,

No one knows this more than me

As I come clean, ah-ah

Nothing you would take,

Everything you gave

Oh hold me till I die,

Meet you on the other side
