Lyrics

Oxygen

Too much small talk well my darling that's bad for our health

Turns your talk so small you'll turn into somebody else

Swimming in the shallow end really ain't getting us far

I want to know where you've been

Who you need, why you laugh, why you cry

I want to know who you are

So baby let's get deep

Whisper all our secrets under sheets

Take me where you visit in your dreams

Then kiss me hard like I'm your only oxygen

Oxygen

Now baby please

Let me wash my sins deep in your stream

Feels as if you're teaching me to breathe

Baby please stay close you are my oxygen

My oxygen

My mama said my baby please be careful with your heart

Thugs and thieves and wolves are lurking out there in their dark

I tried to live a life in fear but that didn't really get me far

I want to know who you are

Where you've been, what you need, how you love

I want to know who you are

So baby please get deep

Whisper all our secrets under sheets

Take me where you visit in your dreams

Then kiss me hard like I'm your only oxygen

Oxygen

Now baby please

Let me wash my sins deep in your stream

Feels as if you're teaching me to breathe

Baby please stay close you are my oxygen

My oxygen

I wanna be what you need, who you need

Whenever you need it I just wanna be there

I wanna be what you need, who you need

Whenever you need it I just wanna be there

I wanna be what you need, who you need

Whenever you need it I just wanna be there

I wanna be what you need, who you need

Whenever you need it I just wanna be there

And if you trust me with spirit

I will trust mine with you

If you fall from the building

I will hold on to you

If you kneel by the river, I will wash over you

I wanna be what you need, who you need

Whenever you need it I just wanna be there

So baby let's get deep

Whisper all out secrets under sheets

Take me where you visit in your dreams

Then kiss me hard like I'm your only oxygen
