[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

I hope some sleep on the plane

Wake up, it's another runway

And home's 5000 miles away

It's getting me down

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah, we can better and we know it

We can feel something in the air

You're telling me you'll be here forever

But what does it mean if I'm not there?

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah, we can better and we know it

We can feel something in the air

You're telling me you'll be here forever

But what does it mean if I'm not there?

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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
