Oxygen

Got words starting a fight in my head

Lines I think I've already read

Maybe it's just something I said

It's getting me now

I hope I get some sleep on the plane

Wake up, it's just another runway

And home's 5000 miles away

It's getting me down

Yeah, we can be better and we know it

We can feel something in the air

You're telling me you'll be here forever

But what does that mean if I'm not there?

It's making my heart bleed

You are the oxygen I need

I'm not myself when I'm lonely

But I've got to get what I'm owed

Ooh

The world is in the palm of my hands

Slipping through my fingers like sand

I know that you can't understand

What's getting me down

I wish that you were here by my side

To bring a little peace to my mind

Talk a while and help me decide

What's getting me down

Cuz we can be better and we know it

We can feel something in the air

You're telling me you'll be here forever

But what does that mean if I'm not there?

It's making my heart bleed

You are the oxygen I need

I'm not myself when I'm lonely

But I've got to get what I'm owed

Ooh

If I was a stronger man, would I be

Half the man I am, would you still want me

Take me as I am, all my oddities

Cuz it's making me me

It's making my heart bleed

You are the oxygen I need

I'm not myself when I'm lonely

But I've got to get what I'm owed

Ooh
