Breathing
Oscar and the Wolf Lyrics

You want my heart lost in a star
You desire my heart to be lost and captivated in the vast expanse of space.

And I hold my head down
I feel overwhelmed and submissive by your strong desire.

You love me true, up on the moon
You love me with a sincerity and intensity that transcends earthly limitations and reaches to the moon.

And I hold my head down
Again, I feel overwhelmed by your love and its magnitude.

Because you hold my head
You hold my head to signify the power and control you have over me and my emotions.

'Cause you hold my head down
Again, you exert your control over me through your grasp on my head, which metaphorically represents my thoughts and feelings.

You are the night, lost in the sky
You are the embodiment of the darkness that fills the sky and surrounds everything beneath it.

And I hold my head down
I feel a sense of submission and awe in the presence of your power and mystery.

You're the night, all that I try
You are the essence of everything that I strive for and desire.

But you hold my head down
Your power and control over me remain dominant even as I seek to understand and possess you.

But I'm not breathing
Despite your overwhelming presence and control over me, I am not living fully and authentically.

I'm not sleeping
Nor can I find rest or peace in my current state of submission and obsession with you.

I'm not leaving here
But I am unable to move on from these feelings and the hold you have over me.

For you
Because you are the unattainable object of my desire and fixation.

You're all I need
You are the one thing that fulfills my deepest needs and desires.

Why can't you see that it's in the air now
I wish you would understand the depth and intensity of my feelings for you, which are palpable and all-encompassing.

Forever more, and it's in the air now
My love and need for you will extend into eternity and will always be present in the air around us.

But it's in the air
The love and fixation I have for you is all-consuming and palpable in the energy around us.

But it's in the air now
This love and obsession is pervasive and undeniable, present in everything around us.

So don't go around
Don't waste your time looking for something else.

Let it waste your time
Instead, let this love consume and occupy your every thought and action.

When you don't take it serious
If you don't recognize the intensity and depth of my feelings, you will be missing out on something truly significant.

I know you don't take it serious
I am aware that you don't understand the true magnitude of my love and fixation for you.
