And my running feet could fly

The breath that passed from you to me
A breath passed from someone else to the singer.
That flew between us as we slept
The breath traveled between the singer and another person while sleeping.
That slipped from your mouth into mine

It crept between two lungs, it was released

The breath that passed from you to me
Similar to line 15, depicting the passage of breath between individuals.
That flew between us as we slept

Gone are the days of begging, the days of theft

No more gasping for a breath
No longer struggling for breath or suffocating.
The air has filled me head-to-toe
The singer feels replenished with air throughout their body.
And I can see the ground far below
A sense of elevation or perspective shift, seeing things from above.
I have this breath and I hold it tight

And I keep it in my chest with all my might
Keeping the breath within, possibly with great effort or determination.
I pray to God this breath will last

As it pushes past my lips as I gasp, gasp
The breath escapes as the singer gasps, possibly for emphasis or necessity.
