I’ve been forging ahead,
traveling in search of my promise land,
escaping from you.
I’ve been sailing away to the horizon the sun kissing my head, water stroking my hand.
And still I can feel you pulling the string.
And still I can choose to breathe in and out

Breathe in and breathe out.
Breathe the pain in and out.
Breathe it all in and out.
Breathe you in and breathe you out

 La vie défile mais tu restes ma presqu’île.
Quoi qu’il arrive j’esquive l’autre rive.
Nous avons fait d’un château de sable une forteresse imprenable.
Ce qui devait rester un mirage est devenu le plus long des voyages.

I’ve been forging ahead,
traveling through badlands, deserts, mountains,
escaping from you.
I’ve been sailing away through rough seas to see my tears
carried away and melt into the ocean in a last dramatic act of passion

Breathe in and breathe out.
Breathe the pain in and out.
Breathe it all in and out.
Breathe you in and breathe you out

 La vie défile il est temps de prendre exil.
Quoi qu’il arrive je dois gagner l’autre rive.
J’emporte avec moi tout ce qui m’appartient de toi
pour me réchauffer quand j’aurai froid.
