Oxygen
Hometown Losers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The reason I dream and the blessings I breathe
I hope you know that you make me feel complete
You're on my mind like blue in the sky
Your eyes shine bright like the stars in the night
I'd like to show you how much you mean to me
There's no one like you in this world, I'm sure of it
All I ask of you is to let me hold your hand
That, I'm sure, will make me a happy man
You're so down to Earth and I'm up in the stars
So show me the sea and I'll take you to Mars
You know how to make me feel sweet
You make me laugh like kids on a high
You love me unconditional every time
You know just how to appreciate me
There's no one like you in this world, I'm sure of it
I need to breathe you in as if you were oxygen
All I ask of you is to let me hold your hand
That, I'm sure, will make me a happy man
There's no one like you in this world, I'm sure of it
I need to breathe you in as if you were oxygen
All I ask of you is to let me hold your hand
That, I'm sure, will make me a happy man
It's only you and me, you believe me then you'll see (There's no one like you)
That we are more than show and tell, more than pictures on the shelf (in this world I'm sure of it)
It's only you and me, you believe me then you'll see (I need to breathe you in as if you)
That we are more than show and tell, more than pictures on the shelf (were oxygen)
To tell you what you mean to me, for things to work out perfectly (All I ask of you is to)
Keep me in your thoughts, you'll be forever in my heart (let me hold your hand)
That, I'm sure, will make me a happy man
