breathing comes in pairs.

Sometimes Dad will say about a song that everytime he hears it, he notices something different about it.

There's this song on the new Fray CD that's kind of like that. It's called "Enough for Now" and I have no idea what it's supposed to be about. Look it up on YouTube and see if you can figure it out. Either way, it's got the most amazing lines:

"breathing comes in pairs,
except for twice:
one begins and one's goodbye"

Now, on a poetical level, it's sort of neat, but on a more literal level, it never occurred to me that a person always has an even number of breaths in their lifetime. 

Not sure why that's significant. It just struck me.
