Oxygen
The Impossibles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oxygen, oxygen
Oxygen, oxygen
Yeah
From California to Montreal
You
Gave me pieces of your heart
Now
On the walls of our little home
We Posted photos of places we used to roam
Now
All of the oceans that we've been through
I
Always have found that my breathe is you
And when the tide of the world rises
I find
Breathing just a little is not so simple
In the darkness of the ocean
Oxygen, oxygen
Oxygen, oxygen
Breathing just a little
Oxygen
Sinking under the tides
Kicking up to the light
Oxygen
Breathing just a little
You and me we are a legacy
Yeah
You got me soaking in your company
We
Escaping all this heavy gravity
We are a family, no-one comes between
Whatever path that we may go down
We'll do it together until we drown
Cause you are my hero, you are my crown
Imma shout it loud
Breathing just a little is not so simple
In the darkness of the ocean
Oxygen, oxygen
Oxygen, oxygen
Breathing just a little
Oxygen
Sinking under the tides
Kicking up to the light
Oxygen
Breathing just a little
Oxygen
Sinking under the tides
Kicking up to the light
Oxygen, oxygen
Oxygen




Sinking under the tides
Kicking up to the light
