Final Breath Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I hope we meet again
After it all
If only time could bend
I'd go back to the start

[Pre-Chorus]
If I could, I'd do it over again, mm
'Cause I'm good growin' old with my friend, mm

[Chorus]
And we'd be layin' there
Your hand in my hand
I'd look at you
And see the memories we had
And the words I'd choose
For my final breath
Will be, "I love you"

[Verse 2]
Do you remember me
From lifetimes before?
It feels like eternity
But I, I want more

[Pre-Chorus]
If I could, I'd do it over again, mm
'Cause I'm good growin' old with my friend, mm
[Chorus]
And we'd be layin' there
Your hand in my hand
I'd look at you
And see the mеmories we had
And the words I'd choosе
For my final breath
Will be, "I love you"

What did Meghan Trainor say about "Final Breath"?
Genius Answer

It’s the closing love song and it’s a good cry. It just felt like the end, like the last chapter of the book, where you’re like, ‘Fuck yeah.’ I wanted to write the biggest ultimate love song. Pretty much how I want to die with my husband, which I know is intense. But death is the biggest fear I have in life. The biggest thing I’m afraid of, because I love this life so much and I don’t ever want to leave. I want to die with my husband at 105, lying in bed and saying, ‘Ready, set. 123.’ That’s what we promised each other. And that’s what the song is. I can’t wait until we’re 105 and we look at each other and hold each other’s hands and go ‘Wow, what a ride. Wasn’t that amazing?’ I had to sing this all in one take with no music. I had to sing it raw and bare. So imagine that. And then after I sang my vocals with all my emotions, I played piano to my voice. It was really beautiful and vulnerable how we put this song together. I wrote the first half of it with my husband on the floor next to me. And he was crying.
