Lyrics Teach Me To Breathe - Dave Pirner

Sandman, blow a little sand in my eyes
Knock me out twice, make me wise
I have never slept a day in my life
I could not cry myself to sleep

Spending the day getting ready to go out
Wondering which mask to wear
Twisting the crank on the oxygen tank
Whisper a prayer for the air

Please teach me to breathe
Remind me how, I can't remember
Please read me the theme
You've lost the plot, the story's dismembered

Milkman, give a little sweet stuff to me
I miss Mia, I miss her kiss
But I could never let her know that I am here
A sweetheart like me in a dump like this

Looking for ways just to rationalize madness
What was I so mad about
All of the things that I've always avoided
Constantly keep coming out

So please teach me to breathe
Remind me how, I can't remember
Please read me the theme
You've lost the plot, the story's dismembered

Now I'd kinda like to go for a walk
Talk with myself and work it out
'Cause if I'd only just remembered to breathe
I'd understand what you see

So please teach me to breathe
Remind me how, I can't remember
Please read me the theme
You've lost the plot, the story's dismembered

Teach me to breathe
Remind me how, I can't remember
Please read me the theme
You've lost the plot, the story's dismembered
