Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby, you walk in slow
And my ribs lean in
Like a room gone cold
When you touch my skin

You don’t ask for much
Just a little space
But you fill my chest
With your velvet grace

[Pre-Chorus]
I was held by dust
Till you pulled me near
Now I count your breath
Like it’s precious here

One kiss, and I know
What the old men meant
When they said some air
Can make a body bend

[Chorus]
You are my oxygen
My oxygen
Baby, I need you in
My oxygen

Don’t let me go too far
Don’t cut this tender thread
You are the air I wear
The air I wear

[Verse 2]
When you lean close, babe
I forget my name
Like a flame in silk
Burning just the same

You get under me
Like a prayer in heat
Like the first deep pull
That wakes up my feet

Your hands on my back
Got me coming up slow
Like a diver kissed
By the sea below

[Pre-Chorus]
I was half asleep
In a locked-up room
Then you opened me
Like a flower in June

Now my pulse runs wild
Every time you near
Baby, you’re the spark
And the clear, clear air

[Chorus]
You are my oxygen
My oxygen
Baby, I need you in
My oxygen

Don’t let me go too far
Don’t cut this tender thread
You are the air I wear
The air I wear

[Bridge]
If love is a body
Then you are the breath
The warm hidden fire
At the edge of death

Take me in again
Let me lose my fight
I was made to crave
What makes me feel alive

[Final Chorus]
You are my oxygen
My oxygen
Baby, I need you in
My oxygen

Don’t let me go too far
Don’t cut this tender thread
You are the air I wear
The air I wear

You are my oxygen
(oxygen)
You are my oxygen
(oxygen)
