Like most songs, this song is about dying and a woman who got left behind in the country
lyrics
Is it strange to know you’re alive? Is it strange to know you’ll die?
Is it strange to live forever, knowing only if you could?
Have you ever been afraid? Is it worse to be alone?
Or are you scared of being lonely, knowing that you’re growing old?
Don't be afraid to breathe
Don't be afraid when you don't
Just know that you're alive
And everything will be alright
Do you know how not to care? Do you know how not to give?
A flying fuck about these people, because that’s how they think of you.
Do you know that you are life? Do you know that you are love?
And I will hope that maybe always it will come back to you again.
Don't be afraid to breathe
Don't be afraid when you don't
Just know that you're alive
And everything will be alright
And when you stroll along those goddamn country roads
Just hoping for someone to have you or to hold
I will not blame you if you throw your fists into the sky
And curse the things that left you here or that you want to die
And sitting in your car in an empty park
Watching all the lunchtime lovers rub it in your face
So I can take the doubts always spilling out your mouth
And bury them away because soon you’re getting out
