🎶 Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On) song analysis

The protagonist is talking about his hands and how they belong to a government man. He feels thin and just wants to breathe with his partner, finding a little space in between. He talks about missing something and being a tumbler. The chorus keeps repeating "All I want is to breathe, won't you breathe with me?" and "When you get to where you wanna be, you might also like." The outro talks about the heat going on and being a tumbler while catching up with himself.
