From the recording Sleeping with Ghost, Vol. 1
“Catch My Breath” is a cinematic slow-burn — sensual, poetic, and ethereal in all the right ways. Built on a lush 12-string guitar and ambient synths, Ryland Fisher delivers a sweeping track that plays like a love scene from an epic film. Lines like “Take me to the edge of the world, where all I can see is you” give it a timeless, otherworldly feel. Balancing intimacy and grandeur, this song invites listeners to lose themselves in the moment.
Lyrics
I don't wanna catch my breath
No need to come up for air
Wanna drown in the blue in your eyes
And find my heaven there
Lost out here in the dark
Reaching out for where you are
Your fingertips run across my lips
I feel for your kiss inch by inch
Losing every bit of me
Sinking into you
Nowhere to go but down
And I don't ever wanna be found
And I don't wanna catch my breath
No need to come up for air
Wanna drown in the blue in your eyes
And find my heaven there
Babe, I wanna stay right here forever
Steal the last heartbeat out of my chest
Honey, ain't got much but take whatever's left
Cus I don’t wanna catch my breath
I don't wanna catch my breath
Take me to the end of the world
Where all I can see is you
When we're falling off the edge
And fading to black
It won't matter where we land
And I don't wanna catch my breath
No need to come up for air
Wanna drown in the blue in your eyes
And find my heaven there
Babe, I wanna stay right here forever
Steal the last heartbeat out of my chest
Honey, ain't got much but take whatever's left
Cus I don’t wanna catch my breath
I don't wanna catch my breath
I don't wanna catch my breath
No need to come up for air
Wanna drown in the blue in your eyes
And find my heaven there
Babe, I wanna stay right here forever
Steal the last heartbeat out of my chest
Honey, ain't got much but take whatever's left
Cus I don’t wanna catch my breath
I don't wanna catch my breath
I don't wanna catch my breath
No need to come up for air
