Learning to Breathe – Switchfoot

Hello, good morning, how ya do? What makes your rising sun so new? I could use a fresh beginning too All of my regrets are nothing new

So this is the way that I say that I need You This is the way This is the way

That I’m learning to breathe I’m learning to crawl I’m finding that You and You alone can break my fall I’m living again, awake and alive I’m dying to breathe in these abundant skies

Hello, good morning, how ya been? Yesterday left my head kicked in I never thought I could fall like that Never knew that I could hurt this bad

I’m learning to breathe I’m learning to crawl I’m finding that You and You alone can break my fall I’m living again, awake and alive I’m dying to breathe in these abundant skies

So this is the way that I say that I need You This is the way That I say I love You This is the way That I say I’m Yours This is the way This is the way


I tried bolding passages that applied. But then I realized… wow, the entirety of this song speaks volumes. All the way from the “good morning” to “I never thought I could fall like that/Never knew that I could hurt so bad” to “You alone can break my fall” to… okay, what am I doing.

The most important part: “I’m living again, awake and alive/I’m dying to breathe in these abundant skies”.

Somehow… God instilled within me a sense of greater peace than I’ve ever felt. All the bitterness, the sorrow, the anger… it just disappeared. I feel alive.

I saw how wrong I was. I saw how selfish my desires were in all of my relationships. Now the only problem is… I can’t tell those people.

Love through silence. This has got to be the hardest kind of love I’ve experienced. That and to love through all things.

Thank you, LORD.

Tomorrow starts yet another day, another month, another year… whatever frame of time you want to call it. A fresh beginning is coming. My regrets are nothing new, but through it… I get to say that I need You.

This song is going to be on repeat for a LONG time.
