lyrics

I was walking through icy streams
That took my breath away, (mmm)
Moving slowly through westward water
Over glacial plains

And I walked off you, (mmm)
And I walked off an old me
Oh me oh my I thought it was a dream
So it seemed

And now, breathe deep, I’m inhaling
You and I, there's air in between
Leave me be, I’m exhaling
You and I, there's air in between
(Ooh)
You and I, there's air in between
(Ooh)

Cut my hair so I could rock back and forth
Without thinking of you
And I learned to talk
And say whatever I wanted to

And I walked off you
And I walked off an old me
Oh me oh my I thought it was a dream
So it seemed

And now, breathe deep, I’m inhaling
You and I, there's air in between
Leave me be, I’m exhaling
You and I, there's air in between
(Ooh)

(Ooh)
