lyrics

I was thinking today
Thinking 'bout a private life
Yeah, just slipping away
Into a private life
Not a holiday
An honest private life

If I could say everything I wanted
to only the ones I love
If I could save all of this breathing
for the ones with nothing in their lungs

A man checks in, a man checks out
but he don't take stock in what he's leaving out

I can't breathe
I can't breathe, he said
I watched it from my private bed
In my private home with my private wife
the private air of my private life
protected by my chemistry
protected by this century
I say I need this private life
and claim it as my own birthright
I can't breathe
I can't breathe he said
