You wanna pick somethin' up, you gotta lay it down 
You wanna turn somethin' on, you gotta set it off 
You wanna let something in, you gotta tear it out 
I wanna feel the sun, I just need some air 

The only word that you know is please, please, please 
The only life that you see is from your knees 
I wanna feel the light, I just can't receive 
Don't wanna leave the ground, I just need some air 
I need some air 

It's just a love that you can't get back 
It's just a tale of a heart attack 
You feel alive, but you're sinking fast 
Just close your eyes, this won't be your last 

You wanna lift somethin' up, you gotta pin it down 
You wanna pull somethin' in, you gotta let it out 
You wanna light something up, you gotta burn it down 
I wanna feel the sun, I just need some air 

The only word that you know is please, please, please 
The only life that you see is from your knees 
I wanna feel the light, I just can't receive 
Don't wanna leave the ground, I just need some air 

I need some air 

It's just a love that you can't get back 
It's just a tale of a heart attack 
You feel alive, but you're sinking fast 
Just close your eyes, this won't be your last 

You wanna pick something up, you gotta lay it down 
You wanna turn something on, you gotta set it off 
You wanna light something up, you gotta burn it down 
I wanna feel the sun, I just need some air 
I need some air 
I need some air 
I need some air

It's just a love that you can't get back 
It's just a tale of a heart attack 
You feel alive, but you're sinking fast 

Just close your eyes, this won't be your last 

It's not the prayer you repeat at night 
It's not the saint that has seen the light 
It's just the breath that you hold inside 
Just keep your, cool it will be alright
