VanderWaal, Grace - Lungs Lyrics






Dancing flames into this glass castle
And underground wax world
Rushing water at the park
Takes you to a different world

And the air was filling my lungs
Autumn was filling your lungs
We're just trying to be young
But little do we know that trying to be young
Is what is making us grow old
The air was filling my lungs
Autumn was filling your lungs
We're just trying to stay young
But little do we know that trying to stay young
Is what is making us grow old

That's what
That's what is making us grow old

A patter of rain pattering on my window
Makes me smile and feel refreshed
But then I'm walking down the street
In the middle of the night
Singing these lyrics to me
Kind of starts messing with my head

And the air was filling my lungs
Autumn was filling your lungs
We're just trying to be young
But little do we know that trying to be young
Is what is making us grow old
Air was filling my lungs
Autumn was filling your lungs
We're just trying to stay young
But little do we know that trying to stay young
Is what is making us grow

Listen to the breath of my voice
Just close your eyes and just go...
Let's just live life as we are
'Cause we only have limited time...

The air was filling my lungs
Autumn was filling your lungs
We're just trying to be young
But little do we know that trying to be young
Is what is making us grow old
I just wanna let go

VanderWaal, Grace Lungs Comments
  1. K.... A....

    Songs looking for an EP/LP:

    Lungs
    Hope for change
    You'll get bored
    Overrated
    Stray
    Happy Songs

    That's enough for another EP, right? Hint, hint...

  2. i.... b....

    hoper for changer !

  3. D.... T....

    A truly inspiring sweet and beautiful young genius. The world certainly knows her name and will recognize her awesome talent for years to come. I listen to her music almost every day and I’m 82 years old. What a blessing to have such an amazing performer.

  4. N.... C....

    LOVE U GRACE!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. J.... ....

    This song is a mini- masterpiece!

  6. K.... A....

    First God created Bob Dylan
    Then he created the Beatles
    Then he created Joni Mitchell
    Then he created Kurt Cobain
    Then he created Grace Vanderwaal
    Then God rested because he could not improve on Grace.

  7. K.... A....

    It would make some sense to put lungs and a better life on separate albums. They have some strong similarities. Maybe we can look forward then to seeing lungs on a future album? IMHO, lungs deserves an official video and promotion as a single. Any album upon which it appears is instantly a chart topper. Why we don't hear this song more is a mystery to me. Careers have been built around lesser works.

    K.... A....

    Kent Aldrich I agree with you 100%. This is my favorite song. Grace is magnificent.

  8. B.... S....

    I wish she could release this on Apple Music ughhh my heart 😭

  9. O.... ....

    Blessed my ears with this little angel... her music feels like fresh living waters going through my system over and over again. Thank You God

  10. I.... G....

    Imagine looking at the amber filled sky by the bay as you listen to this song. ❤❤

  11. r.... r....

  21. M.... G....

    Why isn't this on iTunes. 😢 I need it in my grace collection

    M.... G....

    This was an add on for target only. As far as i have seen she has never sang it in concert or really has even spoke of it. I am not sure she knows just how good this song is, it is kind of like robert plant and stairway to heaven.

    M.... G....

    M,H Gaming channel there are many horrible things in life and that’s just one good example.

  22. j.... b....

    Her Voice is mesmerizing i can listen to Grace all night long

  23. j.... b....

    Take A DEEP BREATH

  24. h.... ....

    This song is so euphoric. Hard to believe how much talent she possesses and how incredibly deep she touches me. It's almost spiritual. Love this artist. Well done Grace!

  25. j.... b....

    This girl cut,s me to the core and i love it

  26. K.... J....

    What an absolutely gorgeous piece of music. The first artist that has truly captivated me in 30 years.

    K.... J....

    If this girl was at Woodstock people would be saying " Janis who? "

  27. M.... A....

    The lyrics and beautiful flowing voice, what a GEM!!!

  28. C.... A....

    i LISTEN TO THIS EVERY MORNING :D

  29. T.... P....

    Team Grace forever😇😇... She is such a precious gift to the music 🎶🎶🎶.. She is original and amazing...I'm so happy that I saw her journey from the starting 😇🎶💕💕✌

  30. C.... D....

    where can I find this song on spotify?

    C.... D....

    It is only on the cd carried at Target and I think on the Japanese release.

  31. G.... S....

    I just decided yesterday that Better Life is my favorite after Darkness chasing me now i'm contemplating again because of this..i catched the grace fever

    G.... S....

    For me it changes day to day its now Lungs tomorrow who knows

    G.... S....

    @Greg Cadman I like both the bonus tracks but I favor Hope For a Change i think

  32. G.... S....

    UN-BE-LIE-VA-BLE songwriting......GENIUS in every aspect

  33. s.... x....

    This song is kinda depressing

    s.... x....

    It melancholic, not depressing....

  34. C.... M....

    I want to buy this song on iTunes so badly! 😫

  35. F.... F....

    This song, the melody, lyric, that raspy voice n it's cracked beautifully, has been created long long time ago somewhere we never know n Grace bring it to this earth in purpose..

  36. G.... E....

    Her voice is so smooth and yet it can go crazy high at the same time

  37. n.... W....

    Love This

  38. D.... H....

    I think this is the most beautiful song I have ever heard.

    D.... H....

    Check out her other bonus track Hope For a Change

  39. h.... ....

    I love this so much. She gives me chills. Incredible talent. I love her!

  40. R.... L....

    Anjo, amo você, linda demais.

  41. D.... K....

    This is her best song.I just dont understand why it did not take off. Iknkow she had expected more praise.

    D.... K....

    Only shitty pop songs take off

  42. S.... K....

    Definitely a song that could have been written by Stargirl.

  43. J.... W....

    I replay all of her songs so many times I think I am going to need a new replay butten

  44. D.... M....

    I think she is a gift that god give us

  45. D.... M....

    Why doesn't my version have the bonus tracks?!

    D.... M....

    These came with the album sold at Target! Target usually gets albums with bonus tracks so you buy the physical copy from them instead of download.

    D.... M....

    you should buy the Japanese album, that version has 4 bonus tracks

    D.... M....

    David Wong What! Where could I find the two other bonus songs!?

    D.... M....

    https://www.ebay.ca/itm/JAPAN-CD-GRACE-VANDERWAAL-Just-The-Beginning-w-4-BONUS-TRACKS-JAPAN-ONLY/272907579426?epid=26015981231&hash=item3f8a8f3022:g:pcIAAOSwrDda3rFO

  46. D.... W....

    she is like an angel

  47. A.... ....

    The highlight of this song its definitely the chorus. I love it.

  48. u.... l....

    love it so much love you grace 💗😍

  49. t.... a....

    love it 💗💗

  50. K.... L....

  51. T.... I....

    Hope Grace performs this song while on tour with Imagine Dragons this summer. Think it would wow the crowds.

  52. N.... ....

    N.... ....

    Niaf but they are all great songs!😁

  53. -.... b....

    so touching. you've made it so far grace. luv u

  54. K.... L....

    More breathless chaotic random lyrics spkoe/sang the same as all the other songs shes croaked out.... She is the "Amazing Grace"

  55. M.... C....

    this was definetly done on the ukulele very pretty

  56. J.... G....

    Listening, I am back in the early 70’s...
    Echo’s of John Lennon & Paul McCartney while they reached my soul with their music.
    Now a 13 year girl is doing the same thing...
    Very strange, but her dad does say “she has an old soul.”... I am glad she is just st the beginning of it all. All the best Grace.

  57. C.... H....

    why isn't this on spotify

  58. C.... A....

    Damn I love this, lo repito una y otra vez , non ne ho mai abbastanza! , yeah I said this en 3 lingue diferentes.

  62. J.... G....

    Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Chuck Berry, Smoky Robinson, Paul Simon, Bono, Diane Ross, Andre Crouche, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchel, Rita MacNeil...
    Grace Vanderwaal (soon, amazing, just getting started).

    J.... G....

    What does it have to do with this video?

  63. H.... D....

    I forgot about this but one night I had a dream that I was on a tennis court and I was writing the lyrics to this song with chalk. It was a strange dream but I was totally fine with it cause I was listening to this song.

  64. C.... R....

    I like how both this song and Sick of Being Told use the lyric ‘I just wanna let go.’ It makes it feel like her songs are more connected. Keep writing, Grace! Love you! 💗

  65. A.... Q....

    Come on guys lets give this video at least 1000 thumbs up 👍🏼❤️❤️ we can do it and grace deserves it

  66. I.... C....

    W.... P....

  73. K.... L....

    lots of love from NORTHEAST INDIA Love you grace iam great fan of you

  74. f.... ....

    Grace is an old soul with a young spirit....

  75. E.... J....

    WHY AM I CRYING

  76. V.... S....

    I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE IN MY CLASS DON'T LIKE HER!! I got her $70 merch and a $300 ukulele because I love her and people have the heart to say I don't like her!! Oml I'm so TRIGGERED!!!

    V.... S....

    Kids are jealous they have no idea how good or special she is, we older people do seen many artist's in my life she is one of the best period

    V.... S....

    YES THEY WILL ONE DAY. AND WILL BE ASHAMED THEN.

    V.... S....

    WWGD(what would Grace do)? She won't please everyone--none of us can, but she stays true to herself, and so should you.

  77. R.... ....

    I wish this was on the album

  78. G.... T....

    I'm 51, an award winning author and have won (in a choir) the Youth & Music Festival in Austria and the Expo in Vancouver, yet this 13 year old girl gives my life perspective. She is God sent.

  79. S.... A....

    Its 0005 and í get drunk lissemt grace vanderwall amazimg music, in 46 and love this girl as she was my daugther

  80. S.... T....

    Omg my life is COMPLETE. Thank you.

  81. G.... U....

    I can't express it .... Grace is I think maybe The Greatest of All Time. No hyperbole. The Greatest of All Time.

    G.... U....

    Honestly i never had know about any singer or band realise an perfect album like JTB. All grace songs are perfects and infeccius i mean a just came to discover lungs and i said again ALL SONGS ARE PERFECT! God bless grace vanderwall

    G.... U....

    GOAT agreed

  82. M.... S....

    the daily dose of goosebumps

    M.... S....

    LOL. So true for .me, as well. She's got some connection going to a special music place. Crazy

  83. M.... C....

    At work I always bring up the little girl hat can do it all when coworkers complain about doi something. I mean you just showed me and the world that yes , you're the little girl that puts the guys to shame at my work, not physically. You're the little girl that could, No pun intended). It's just something I do to try to get the guys to at least try. Love your music. TY

  84. m.... ....

    Haunting

  85. A.... T....

    I think her bonus tracks led to the songs. This one led to "So Much More Than This" and Hope for change led to her song "Burned" Because Hope For Change talked about we shouldn't touch the fire, and this one said "Just close your eyes and just go oh-oh-oh". But that's just my hypothesis... Think about it...

    A.... T....

    I think the songs inspired these bonus tracks.. but I definitely picked up on the "we shouldn't touch the fire" part :)

    A.... T....

    Steph L I just got burned. Hopefully, the song will help me remember the lesson. :/

    A.... T....

    Good points Abby!

  86. S.... S....

    Wow I love this song

  87. s.... ....

    Grace is amazing in every way. Her music hits me right in the feels. I haven't felt like this about a musician since Sara Bareilles.

    s.... ....

    Being compared to Sara Bareilles at this stage in her career is something. Grace appears to have a bit of every one. In the beginning people were trolling her about copying people but that's not the case, they didn't see how versatile she is. She's an enigma, she 's all of them in one. She isn't going to hit the high notes Mariah can but she can do a little Mariah when she wants without knowing it

  88. R.... ....

    Had to hear the exclusives ;p

  89. B.... B....

    Can this be On Spotify

    B.... B....

    For real!!

  90. B.... B....

    1 dislike!!!

  91. G.... S....

    ..this brings me to another world😊

  92. A.... C....

    I can't explain how amazing you are just I can't even

  93. A.... L....

    GO GIRL! I'LL SUPPORT YOU, FANDERWAALS ARE REALLLLL!

    A.... L....

    yeppers were behind every thing Our Ms .Grace does :) and we travel in packs LOL The Texas Gent

  94. I.... a....

    This generation is so used to listening to auto tune and generic songs being played on the radio, that they have no respect for unique and individual voices. I feel sorry for those born in 2009 and on. For those growing up not able to appreciate raw talent. I'm sure that when Bjork was introduced to the music industry, she was praised and respected for her unique vocals. Elliott Smith's vocals were raw and powerful...just him and the guitar. Joan Jett. Janis Joplin. Grace was truly born into the wrong generation. She doesn't receive the respect she deserves. She composes music, writes lyrics, speaks wisdom far beyond her years. Her song Lungs absolutely blew me away, as did her Billboard acceptance speech. She's eloquent and intelligent and knows the true meaning of work ethic, being humble, and staying true to yourself and others. I know she recently received hate for her constructive comment about Jacob Sartorius, but she's truly passionate about music and her fans, and just wanted to remind him of his humble beginnings and that although he thinks he works hard, he doesn't work nearly as hard as the artists that have come before them. Again, far too intelligent for a 13 year old girl. Grace Vanderwaal is truly a pop prodigy, and she's a true breath of fresh air to the industry. You know you're doing exceedingly well when your music is being featured in commericals and television shows, and when you've won a Billboard award, topped charts, performed at 2016's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, performed with and got approval from Cyndi Lauper, produced your own EP and debut album, et cetera. Say what you want, but this girl is going places....and quickly. Just think...it's only been a year. One year!

    I.... a....

    I 100% AGREE!!!!!!

    I.... a....

    We can only hope the current generation growing up with Grace will appreciate the diamond she is instead of music like BTS ect

    I.... a....

    @Randy Wong I mean, that's just your opinion anyways.

    I.... a....

    I agree I love Grace and she works really hard.i don't know about you guys but she makes me happy

    I.... a....

    I agree with everything you said. She is amazing!

  95. S.... M....

    Such chill soothing vibes

  96. m.... m....

    Is it weird to have a role model be younger than u?

    m.... m....

    melissa mccloskey lol it’s even weirder when your a huge fan of a person that’s the same age as you XD

    m.... m....

    No when it's Grace VanderWaal :)

    m.... m....

    It is not weird any more. The world has never known a talent like Grace.

    ...and a child shall lead us!

  97. m.... m....

    I've never loved someone as much as I love Grace... grace is my inspiration... she's 13, and I'm 15...

    m.... m....

    melissa mccloskey your heart has good taste... ;-)

    m.... m....

    I don't think you could find a better role model. No, wait, I don't think ANYONE could find a better role model. How wonderful that she walks among us.

  98. K.... A....

    I feel awkward talking to people about her...because I've tried explaining her to people and they are like yeah she is good.....but it's better than that...and why can't they see it? She just straight gets me to the core and I'm like...I almost feel like a creeper watching her vids over n over....but her so Gs aren't complete for me u less I see her sing them n a live vid....with the exception of the bonus tracks and DKCM ...which I can only assume would be the most tear inducing live performance......Ever...imagine an entire venue crying but happy...lol. I believe if she ever sings this live...it will not be a sing along...the crowd will be too busy sniffling and wiping tears...lol

    K.... A....

    We that have gone through emotional pain, we can feel her music, her soul - She signs for us.

    K.... A....

    I'm a 56 year old man in awe of her, and grateful for her music speaking to me, soul-to-soul. It's the craziest music listening experiences I've ever had. How is this "kid" so wise and profound?

    K.... A....

    I wish I could tell people about her but they'd probably not like her and just think im weird

    K.... A....

    KevinA Anderson music and art can be very personal. Grace's singing and words have that effect on many people but it is still personal. Enjoy her music. If it is meant to be, others will take notice.

    K.... A....

    Kevin, I understand. I'm an old musician who had rather given up on the general direction of music, including my own writing. Until this girl. Even if she never wrote another song; I am going to be so eternally grateful I didn't die before I heard Grace. I hope she doesn't read this, because comments like mine amount to an undue pressure for anyone, let alone a 14 y/o. For me, she has not just rescued popular music; but she has brought me back to my own guitar, my keyboard, and my voice. This young girl has taught me everything.
