I have kept everything the way you left and
I have found all the things we built and burned them down.

[Pre-Chorus:]
I'm paving new ground
Won't see you around
I'd love to burn this town.
I'm watching it drown,
Watch it drown.

[Chorus:]
If you please, excuse me while I breathe in
I feel that now this room is getting smaller as we speak
When I'm gone, what will you be thinking?
Will you find this place is just too hard for you to breathe in?
It's too hard for me.

I can feel every word this town has spoken
And can you see all the things they wouldn't let us be?

[Pre-Chorus:]
I'm paving new ground
Won't see you around
I'd love to burn this town.
I'm watching it drown,
Watch it drown.

[Chorus:]
If you please, excuse me while I breathe in
I feel that now this room is getting smaller as we speak
When I'm gone, what will you be thinking?
Will you find this place is just too hard for you to breathe in?
It's too hard for me.

[Ah, ah-h, ah]
Woah, I can't stop my feet,
They're moving way too fast for you
[Ah]
Woah, you can't stop your tears.
But you will be okay, someday.

[Chorus:]
If you please, excuse me while I breathe in
I feel that now this room is getting smaller as we speak
When I'm gone, what will you be thinking?
Will you find this place is just too hard for you to breathe in?
It's too hard for me.

If you please, excuse me while I breathe in
I feel that now this room is getting smaller as we speak
When I'm gone, will you finally see?
Will you find this place is just too hard for you to breathe in?
It's too hard for me to breathe.
It's too hard for me to breathe.
