Between two lungs it was released
The breath that carried me
The sigh that blew me forward
'Cause it was trapped
Trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
And my running feet could fly
Each breath screaming
"We are all too young to die"
Between two lungs it was released
The breath that passed from you to me
That flew between us as we slept
That slipped from your mouth into mine
It crept between two lungs
It was released
The breath that passed from you to me
That flew between us as we slept
That slipped from your mouth into mine
It crept
'Cause it was trapped
Tapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
Now all the days of begging
The days of theft
No more gasping for a breath
The air has filled me head-to-toe
And I can see the ground far below
I have this breath
And I hold it tight
And I keep it in my chest
With all my might
I pray to God this breath will last
As it pushes past my lips
As I gasp
Between two lungs it was released
The breath that passed from you to me
The breath that carried me
The sigh that blew me forward
'Cause it was trapped
Trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
And my running feet could fly
Each breath screaming
"We are all too young to die"
Between two lungs it was released
The breath that passed from you to me
That flew between us as we slept
That slipped from your mouth into mine
It crept between two lungs
It was released
The breath that passed from you to me
That flew between us as we slept
That slipped from your mouth into mine
It crept
'Cause it was trapped
Tapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
Now all the days of begging
The days of theft
No more gasping for a breath
The air has filled me head-to-toe
And I can see the ground far below
I have this breath
And I hold it tight
And I keep it in my chest
With all my might
I pray to God this breath will last
As it pushes past my lips
As I gasp
Between two lungs it was released
The breath that passed from you to me

The lyrics "My running feet could fly, each breath screaming we are all too young to die", I think of the donor, and their tragic accident, perhaps their thoughts as they are in an unconscious state between life and death.
The lyrics "The breath that passed from you to me
That flew between us as we slept" I think of the actual event, the donor "asleep in death" and my child "asleep via sedation." The death, the harvesting, the surgery.
The last lyrics are so appropriate post transplant. My child no longer is stealing days from death, he is definitely not begging for breath, but his new lungs are near and dear to him, and he prays and thanks his donor and his God of choice regularly. He plays full sets of tennis and has goals of running 5ks and more.
This song echoes a profound event in my life, the tragic death of an organ donor and the new life they gave my child.
i believe she is refering to our soul when she says between two lungs and that when we pass away or take our last breaths our soul releases, it is released...
As it pushes past my lips
As I...
Gasp
i also think that the song is about when you have a perfect moment that you never want to let go of because of the feeling it gives you
