Oxygen

Got words starting a fight in my head
Lines I think I've already read
Maybe it's just something I said
It's getting me now
I hope I get some sleep on the plane
Wake up, it's just another runway
And home's 5000 miles away
It's getting me down
Yeah, we can be better and we know it
We can feel something in the air
You're telling me you'll be here forever
But what does that mean if I'm not there?
It's making my heart bleed
You are the oxygen I need
I'm not myself when I'm lonely
But I've got to get what I'm owed
Ooh
The world is in the palm of my hands
Slipping through my fingers like sand
I know that you can't understand
What's getting me down
I wish that you were here by my side
To bring a little peace to my mind
Talk a while and help me decide
What's getting me down
Cuz we can be better and we know it
We can feel something in the air
You're telling me you'll be here forever
But what does that mean if I'm not there?
It's making my heart bleed
You are the oxygen I need
I'm not myself when I'm lonely
But I've got to get what I'm owed
Ooh
If I was a stronger man, would I be
Half the man I am, would you still want me
Take me as I am, all my oddities
Cuz it's making me me
It's making my heart bleed
You are the oxygen I need
I'm not myself when I'm lonely
But I've got to get what I'm owed
Ooh
