Oxygen
You touch my skin
Change the mood I'm in
Teach me how to fly
Just by looking in my eyes
Every word you say
Sets my heart on fire
Every move you make
Takes me higher
I get so high up here
When I touch the sky
It hurts me when I breathe
I need oxygen
Whenever you are near I can hardly speak
It hurts me when I breathe
I need oxygen
I need oxygen
I need
Suddenly
Suddenly I see
How great my life can be
Sailing in the wind
With you my love
Every day is brighter
I get so high up here
When I touch the sky
It hurts me when I breathe
I need oxygen
Whenever you are near I can hardly speak
It hurts me when I breathe
I need oxygen
I need oxygen
I need




With you my love
Everyday is brighter
