- Human Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't you leave me, Father Time
Take me with you
Tell me, does your sun still shine?
Come squeeze the world and drip it down my throat again
Down my throat again, woah

[Chorus]
You got to breathe, man, breathe
Coming up for air
Breathe, man, breathe
Coming up for air

[Verse 2]
Touch me so I think I'm here
Skin my senses
Barely breathing
Minus human
Please squeeze the world and drip it down my throat again
Ooh, down my throat again, woah

[Chorus]
You got to breathe, man, breathe
Coming up for air
Breathe, man, breathe
Coming up for air
You got to breathe, man, breathe
Coming up for air
Breathe, man, breathe
[Outro]
Coming up for
Yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
