Something in the Air
Jamie Webster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somethin' in the air that's mine to breathe
Something′s got me feelin′ tall as the leaves fall
And stand beneath my sleeve
'Cause even in these crazy days
There are strange ways to make me feel alive
There′s no one when the thought fails and the ship sails
From when I′m way to the limit
And on, I drag myself in it
By tellin' you to bear it
′Cause you won't give me a minute
To when I'm in a time of crisis
And you make no sacrifices
Never left to my devices
Makes me see how good this life is
I′ll take you moody swings and talk of rings
To just see half your smile
Even when you pull that look on the things you cook
Don′t I make it worthwhile?
All the little games we play in a day-to-day
Of which you never lose
And you never fail to impress in a way it does
Despite those shit tattoos
From when the chip's on your shoulder
′Cause you're feelin′ light bit older
But I can hold us like a soldier
'Cause your dawn is getting colder
To when those feelings come to pass
And the water fills the glass
So, all of life′s fortunes we'll amass
Forever flyin', darlin′ first-class
All the times I′m on my own
Feelin' labeled to the bone
Still, you′re never off the phone
I'd give up everything I own
Just to get there and lay there
Live all of our days without a care
You′re that somethin' in the air
You′re that somethin' in the air

Forever flyin', darlin' first-class
We'll journey through life together, in the best way possible
All the times I'm on my own
When I feel lonely or isolated
Feelin' labeled to the bone
Feeling judged and confined by society's labels
Still, you're never off the phone
But you're always there for me, ready to listen and support
I'd give up everything I own
I'd sacrifice everything just to be with you
Just to get there and lay there
Just to be close to you and enjoy your company
Live all of our days without a care
To live our lives peacefully and enjoy each other's love
You're that something in the air
You're the source of my happiness and positive energy
You're that something in the air
You're my soulmate, my partner in life, and my everything
