Story Behind The Song
Breathe in Girl was the first single released off the album. The success of the song encouraged the decision to record the full-length album. The chorus "Breathe in girl, breathe out girl," comes from an early morning in March 2018 when I pulled myself off the bathroom floor, both hands on the edge of the vanity, crying and staring at my reflection reminding myself to breathe after a string of events that pushed me to my emotional limit. The line from the song, "I hate to spoil the ending but you're going to be ok," became a power line that has touched the lives of many since the release of the song. This song represented the start of my independence as a solo musician, paving my own path in my musical career.

Lyrics
If I could find a map to take me far from here
I'd see the bridge is burning in the rearview mirror
I'd be zero to sixty in a no passing zone
Ready for this long trip along
Breathe in girl, breathe out girl, take a look around
This life's too short to get caught up in this small town
People will talk and say what they're going to say
I hate to spoil the ending but you're going to be ok
Just when you think you can't take anymore...
Breathe in girl
There's an open road with no end in sight
Don't have to solve these problems tonight
I just need somewhere to lay my head
Forever haunted by the words you said
Breathe in girl, breathe out girl, take a look around
This life's too short to get caught up in this small town
People will talk and say what they're going to say
I hate to spoil the ending but you're going to be ok
Just when you think you can't take anymore...
Breathe in girl
Just can't take it, just can't take it, Just can't take it no more
Just can't take it, Just can't take it, just can't take it no more...
