Oxygen
A-New-Decade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the total unexpected
I'm a con
A stealer of hearts
I only keep this facade
To keep you on your toes
I'll take a glance while you sleep at night
So don't leave me
Don't leave, don't leave me here
I can't breathe without you
Don't leave, don't leave me here
I don't wanna be without you
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna breathe without you
You're my oxygen
It's hard to get rejected
By the one you most expected to be by your side
At first hopping, you should run and hide
But I don't think you're to blame
I've kept you on your toes
I dream of you while I sleep at night
So nobody will know
So don't leave me
Don't leave, don't leave me here
I can't breathe without you
Don't leave, don't leave me here
I don't wanna be without you
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna breathe without you
You're my oxygen, oxygen
With me is where you belong
Right with me is where you belong
Right here, right here, don't leave me
Don't leave, don't leave me here
I can't breathe without you
Don't leave, don't leave me
'Cause I can't live without you
So don't leave, don't leave me here
I can't breathe without you
Don't leave, don't leave me
I don't wanna breathe without you
You're my oxygen
I don't wanna breathe without you
You're my oxygen
Oxygen, oxygen, oxygen
