In Parker McCollum's evocative ballad, the artist explores the tension between personal ambition and romantic commitment. The lyrics poignantly depict a musician's struggle with the dichotomy of life on the road and the yearning for home. McCollum's use of imagery, such as "heart on my sleeve" and "star-painted sky," conveys the emotional toll of his chosen path. The recurring lament, "I can't breathe," underscores a suffocating sense of guilt and frustration as he grapples with accusations of dishonesty from his partner. This song encapsulates the universal conflict between pursuing one's dreams and maintaining intimate relationships, ultimately questioning whether love can withstand such trials.
I Can't Breathe
Lyrics
It's been forever, my dear
But I can't stop here
'Cause I know where it's goin'
I'm on the road missin' home
Missin' the road while I'm home
But baby, I'm goin'
With my heart on my sleeve
Long nights and no sleep
Rain sunshine and snowin'
I'm on the road missin' home
Missin' the road while I'm home
But baby, I'm goin'
I can't breathe
Baby, I'm dyin'
Why are you cryin'
While I'm tryin' for this love?
I can't believe
You think I'm lyin'
What are you not buyin'?
Is what I'm tryin' not enough?
This town's holdin' time
But what you believe keeps you rollin'
I'm on the road missin' home
Missin' the road while I'm home
But baby, this is my callin'
There's no right lines just lies
That keep this old train rollin'
I'm on the road missin' home
Missin' the road while I'm home
But baby, I'm goin'
I can't breathe
Baby, I'm dyin'
Why are you cryin'
While I'm tryin' for this love?
I can't believe
You think I'm lyin'
What are you not buyin'?
Is what I'm tryin' not enough?
Now this star-painted sky keeps on fallin'
I wish you were me
So you could hear me when I'm callin'
When I'm callin'
When I'm callin'
When I'm callin'
I can't breathe
Baby, I'm dyin'
Why are you cryin'
While I'm fightin' for this love?
I can't believe
You think I'm lyin'
What are you not buyin'?
Is what I'm tryin' not enough?
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
Yeah, yeah
