R.E.M. — Try Not to Breathe

[Verse 1] I will try not to breathe I can hold my head still with my hands at my knees These eyes are the eyes of the old Shivering and fold I will try not to breathe This decision is mine I have lived a full life And these are the eyes that I want you to remember [Pre-Chorus] Oh I need something to fly over my grave again I need something to breathe [Verse 2] I will try not to burden you I can hold these inside I will hold my breath until all these shivers subside Just look in my eyes I will try not to worry you I have seen things that you will never see Leave it to memory me I shudder to breathe [Chorus] I want you to remember Oh (You'll never see) I need something to fly (Something to fly) Over my grave again (You'll never see) I need something to breathe (Something to breathe) Baby, don't shiver now Why do you shiver now? (I have seen things you will never see) I need something to fly (Something to fly) Over my grave again (I have seen things you will never see) I need something to breathe [Verse 3] I will try not to worry you I have seen things that you will never see Leave it to memory me Don't dare me to breathe [Chorus] I want you to remember Oh (You'll never see) I need something to fly (Something to fly) Over my grave again (You'll never see) I need something to breathe (Something to breathe) Baby, don't shiver now Why do you shiver? (I have seen things you will never see) I need something to breathe (Something to breathe) (I have seen things you will never see) I want you to remember
