[Verse 1]
I've watched those eyes light up with a smile
River in the not good times
Oh, you taught me all that I know (I know)
I've seen your soul grow just like a rose
Made it through all of those thorns
Girl into the woman I know

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's killing me, me to say "I'm fine," "I'm fine"
When I really mean, mean to say...

[Chorus]
You're my all and more
All I know you taught me, yeah
You're my all and more
But I need room to breathe, yeah

[Verse 2]
I found New York laying in your arms
We'll melt into the bedroom floor
Never knew I'd stay for so long
And this truth cuts not through one, but both
Not through one, but both of us
But it's deeper if I hold on

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's killing me, me to say "I'm fine," "I'm fine"
When I really mean, mean to say...

[Chorus]
You're my all and more
All I know you taught me, yeah
You're my all and more
But I need room to breathe, yeah
Ooh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh

[Bridge]
Gotta breathe for me, it's now or never
Gotta breathe for me, it's now or never (Ooh-oh-oh)
Ooh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh
I should leave, 'cause you deserve better, better
Gave my all and more
But I need room to be me

[Chorus]
You're my all and more
All I know you taught me, yeah (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh)
You're my all and more
But I need room to breathe, yeah (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh)
Ooh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh

[Outro]
Breathe
Ooh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh
Breathe

Lauv

With an affection for electronic and R&B sounds, infused with his soulful bedroom vocals and airy beats, Ari Staprans Leff, known professionally as Lauv, has burst onto the music scene with his intimate take on romantic pop.

Lauv’s musical beginnings started in childhood, learning strings as well as playing piano, but neither captivated his interest. However, his connection with music grew when he picked up a guitar at the age of 11. From there, Lauv became obsessed with expressing himself musically, which channeled into an interest in songwriting.

Eventually he made his way to New York University (NYU) in 2012, and entered the prestigious Music Technology Program there, having expanded his music interests into jazz and electronic music production in high school to add to his diversified portfolio.
