Air I Breathe Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Born and raised
Under the rain and a Western Wind
Felt the weight
Trying to live up to they say I am
Is it any wonder
Shame comes calling my first name
Is there any question
If I'm the one here left to blame
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the same fight all over again
It's the same bite breaking on my skin
It's the same light when you let me in
You let me in, You let me in
[Chorus]
You are the air I breathe (Oh-oh-oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh oh)
You are the song I bleed (Oh-oh-oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
You are the war that I can't win
This is my white flag in the wind
Every word You speak (Oh-oh-oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Is the air I breathe
(Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
[Verse 2]
I feel like a contender
Bringing my fist to pistol war
I surrender
That I need you now and You've loved me more
It's like an ocean over my head and I'm under the light
In slow mo-o-o-o-o-otion tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the same fight all over again (Oh, oh-oh)
It's the same bite breaking on my skin (Oh, oh-oh)
It's the same light when you let me in (Oh, oh-oh)
You let me in, You let me in (Oh, oh-oh)
[Chorus]
You are the air I breathe (Oh-oh-oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh oh)
You are the song I bleed (Oh-oh-oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
You are the war that I can't win
This is my white flag in the wind
Every word You speak (Oh-oh-oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Is the air I breathe
[Bridge]
I hear You calling my name out, name out (Oh, oh-oh)
There's no running away now (Way now) (Oh, oh-oh)
I hear You calling my name out, name out (Oh, oh-oh)
I got nothing left to say now, say now (Oh, oh-oh)
[Chorus]
You are the air I breathe
You are the song I bleed
You are the war that I can't win
This is my white flag in the wind
Every word You speak
Is the air I
You are the air I breathe (Oh-oh-oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh oh)
You are the song I bleed (Oh-oh-oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
You are the war that I can't win
This is my white flag in the wind
Every word You speak (Oh-oh-oh-oh oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Is the air I breathe (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Is the air I breathe (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
