Burning Down The Villager

Catch My Breath

The lyric, "I'm trying to catch my breath, but I haven't caught it yet" says it all. When an important relationship comes to an end, people don't seem to feel the emotional repercussions it brings at first, but when they do, its like getting the breath knocked out of you. This song touches on how a broken relationship can bring you to your knees.

"Catch My Breath" is mostly about a breakup I went through with my current girlfriend. When she broke up with me, at first, I didn't feel anything - I was cold. Then, after a few days, I started to feel the impact that our breakup had on me. Emotions flooded my body and I was left lonely with no one to talk to. I missed her very much, but didn't have a clue how to tell her.

After a month of hardly any contact with my, at the time, ex-girlfriend, I heard about how our breakup took a toll on her. I was told she missed me just as much as I missed her and finally, I realized what I had to do - I had to catch my breath. Soon after, I reconnected with her and we're now we're happier than ever. This song is dedicated to her.
