Breathing - Lifehouse

This is a great song, and easy to play. I am NOT claiming to be 100% correct but
this is how I play it and I think it sounds pretty good. Enjoy

I'm sorry that you don't have god to hold you together! This song is about god tho, I have the CD, and in it the guys all tell about how god inspired all their songs and everythin like that. And if you don't care about this song or about god then why are you here, at the page for this song that is about god? special to honestyormystery: I totally agree with everything I've ever seen you post! Is your name from The Authority Song?

I like to think of this song as a love song... "sit outside heavens door" I like interpreting that as he thinks the girl he's singing about is an angel. It's such a sweet song is you look at it as a love song...

This is my favorite song off of the "No Name Face" CD. It is such a beautiful song and I love Jason's voice in it.

If i thought about it for a bit, it would make sense for the song to be about god, although usually I just listen to the song and not try to cross-examine it to find the real meaning, lol.

"the past has left its stain, now I feel the shame. I'll seize the day if You take away the chains of yesterday." I like that part because he's telling God that his past and his shame hold him back, and keep him in bondage. he tells God if He will take away these chains, he'll seize the day and take the freedom that God offers. I like this song because as a Christian I've had to deal a lot with the "chains of yesterday". I've messed up a lot in the past, and I feel like I pay the consequences for it all the time. But that's why God's grace is so awesome. Because I could never do anything to deserve that much love. I'm the least worthy person on the planet for redemption, but it's not about being worthy. that's what's so awesome. while we were still sinners, Jesus loved us so much that He would die for us. He died for everyone. Even those people that spit His name out on the sidewalk... there's no reason or explanation in it except that it's by total grace that we've been saved. I can't NOT have reverence for that. And I'll keep living for the day that I'm with Him.

i think this song is a view from a man who is looking back on a past relationship and wishing that they could give it another go. He is saying that if u take away the chains of yesterday (the problems that caused them to break up) then he would be more than willing to give it another go. He is saying in the chorus that since they've been apart all he's been trying to do is get back together because he has still got feelings for this girl even though they had problems which cause them to split up in the first place. " a new day the sun is shining, seems im closer to finding........it seems that all i want is you" i think that means that its a new a day and that they should forget about the past cause he wants her back! i think the best part of this song is " no way that i am turning, along as the sun is burning, now it seems all i want is you" he is saying that as long as our feelings are still there then she is the only one he wants and that he will never walk away as long as there still there! another amazing lifehouse song!

This song reminds me of one of my best friends (whos a guy) because whenever i talk to him at night he never talks very much, and i sometimes get that weird feeling that im falling in love with him.
