When we both emerged alive
We heard, "You share these lungs, now learn to breath"

When we first came through the night
Did you expect to come out all intertwined?
So messed up and mangled and unaligned?
I couldn't see how we could come out any stronger
But we had learned to

When we first came through the night
We learned we'd have to divide
But I could tell, though I couldn't understand why
The muscles you took for yours were also mine
No I couldn't see

And I've had friends for whom loneliness
Was an un-fulfilling, consuming monster
An ever expanding void the size of the universe

And I know first hand how it can feel
When you're torn wide open, those scars still bleeding
It's somewhere I once hoped I'd never have to go back to
But sometimes you have to, so we have learned to

When we both emerged alive
We heard, "You share these lungs, now learn to breath"
