Boyce Avenue: "Every Breath" (2010)

The song "Every Breath" is the 4th song of "All We Have Left", the second studio album and first major album by American rock band Boyce Avenue, released on June 15, 2010. The album's first single "Every Breath" was released digitally on March 16, 2010.

As of the end of 2009, the band had finished recording a full album of original music, had produced and financed the entire project on its own, and had developed a plan to release the album independently through its own label, 3 Peace Records. At that time, they were approached by Universal Republic to partner in the release of the album. The band, impressed with Republic's excitement about the music and the band's wanting to remain extremely hands on with their music, videos, and websites, signed with Universal Republic in November 2009. The band's major label debut album, "All We Have Left", was released on June 15, 2010, featuring "Every Breath", the first single from the album. The music video for the song was shot by acclaimed director Zach Merck (Blue October, Safetysuit) in Los Angeles, and was a collaborative effort that grew from a treatment written by the band.

In accordance with wikipedia, singer/guitarist Alejandro Manzano comments, "It's been a long-time goal of ours to release a full-length debut album worldwide, with all of our music on it the way we've always wanted the world to hear it. We feel this album is the kind of release our fans deserve."


- Lyrics:

It sounds like this is nothing new
and it hasn't been for a while
You wake up on the other side
and you strain to force a smile
The fairytale inside your head
has become your new best friend
But I can show you that I'll be there
before the story ends

Cause' when I needed a place to hang my heart
you were there to worry from the start
And with every breath I make
you'll be the only light I see

I'm inching to the finish line
of a life time that's barely started
The piece of mine I left behind
I pray you'll keep in your perfect garden
You're waiting on a minute hand
and the countdown lasts for days
But I can tell you
it won't be long before I'm here to stay

Cause' when I needed a place to hang my heart
you were there to worry from the start
And with every breath I make
you'll be the only light I see

The weightlessness of lack of rest,
away from you I'm in over my head

Even when it's dark before dawn
I'll feel your grace and carry on
And with every breath I make
you'll be the only light I see

When I needed a place to hang my heart
you were there to worry from the start
And with every breath I make
you'll be the only light I see

Even when it's dark before the dawn
I will feel your grace and carry on
And with every breath I make
you'll be the only light I see
You'll be the only light I see
