Just Breathe - Pearl Jam

Album: Backspacer

Lyrics:
Yes I understand that every life must end,
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go,
I'm a lucky man to count on both hands
The ones I love...

Some folks just have one,
Others they got none,
Stay with me...
Lets just breathe.

Practiced are my sins,
Never gonna let me win,
Under everything, just another human being,
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,
Everything you gave
And nothing you would say (save?)(take),
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...
like I come clean.

Nothing you would take...
Everything you gave.
Hold me till I die...
Meet you on the other side.

I wanted to update you all on my situation.. I was sick about a year ago i had liver cancer and was told i only had a few months to live. my girlfriend had kicked me out and my best friend had shot himself.. I thought I had hit the bottom of my well. Later things took a turn for the worse. My girlfriend took her life and i lost about 80 pounds from the cancer treatment.. I was tired of living.. but I kept on with treatment and now about a year later I'm in remission and doing much better...

Keep your head up. :)

This song always makes me tear up. Beautiful voice, beautiful song.

[D.M. Young]

The singer is lying in a bed, near death... while staring up at the crucifix on the wall, he begins to profess his faith in Christ and that he gave everything (his life) and took nothing...He says he was a "fool" to not have admitted he needed/wanted Christ...The singer passes away at the end asking Christ to "hold me while I die, meet you on the other side".

Thats my take on the song...Great song !!

[Tiffany Goins]

Bless your heart sweetie.. never give up.. everything happens for a reason.. There is good out here.. just stay strong.. and I will keep you in my prayers.. you've come this far and God has spared you for a greater purpose

I am 16 and my dad passed away from cancer years ago and I was reading through the comments and I saw several comments about how some of you have cancer and your parents do too. And you guys are saying stay strong. Do just that. That's all you can do.
