I Need Air Lyrics

The moon was high on the night we met
You walked alone, your hair was wet
And I pulled you down and you made not a sound
As I wound my hair all around you
And I get angry when I'm lonely
I feel blue, like this ocean that confines me.

Darling, I need air.
Darling, I need air.
I cannot exist in this atmosphere.

The sun was red and the colors bleed
Into the water as it set.
And I wait for you, like I always do
Sometimes, you come. Sometimes, you stay away.

And I get sad when you ignore me.
I feel blue, like this ocean that confines me.
Darling, I need air.
Darling, I need air.
I belong up there in your atmosphere.

Moving pictures, cherry wine.
A stolen kiss under a street light.
Music made with strings-
You tell such lies.
The rain fell soft on the night you let
Me wrap my arms around your neck.
And I pulled you down and you made not a sound.
As you drowned I saw you reaching

I need air.
Darling, I need air.
I cannot exist in this atmosphere.

Moving pictures, cherry wine.
A stolen kiss under a street light.
Music made with strings-
You tell such lies.
