Oxygen
Anne-Marie Lyrics

Oxygen
The singer likens the person she loves to oxygen, symbolizing the importance and necessity of their presence in her life.

You touch my skin
The physical presence of the loved one affects the singer's emotions, as their touch has a profound effect on her mood and well-being.

Change the mood I'm in
The loved one has the power to influence the singer's emotional state by simply being present.

Teach me how to fly
The singer feels empowered and liberated when she's with her loved one, compared to feeling grounded alone. She learns to ascend and reach new heights in their presence.

Just by looking in my eyes
The loved one has a powerful gaze that has the ability to affect the singer's emotions and mood.

Every word you say
The loved one's language and communication style has a major effect on the singer's emotions and physiological responses, including her heartbeat.

Sets my heart on fire
The singer's heart is ignited and ablaze with passion and emotion whenever the loved one communicates with her.

Every move you make

Takes me higher

I get so high up here
The loved one takes the singer to new emotional and psychological heights that she has never experienced before.

When I touch the sky
The singer feels liberated and ecstatic when she's with the loved one, as if she's touching the sky and reaching new heights in life.

It hurts me when I breathe
The singer feels a sense of constriction and pain whenever she's not with her loved one, as if her oxygen supply has been cut off.

I need oxygen
The singer longs for the presence and companionship of her loved one, who is as essential to her life as oxygen is to her physical existence.

Whenever you are near I can hardly speak
The singer is overwhelmed with emotion and finds it difficult to express herself when the loved one is nearby, as if she has lost her breath and words have left her.

Suddenly I see
Since meeting the loved one, the singer's perspective on life has changed and she is now able to see things more clearly and positively.

How great my life can be
The singer realizes that life holds great meaning and potential, especially with the presence of her loved one, who has elevated her existence in every way.

Sailing in the wind

With you my love
The singer feels immense love and appreciation towards her partner, acknowledging that their presence is invaluable to her happiness and well-being.

Every day is brighter
