"Oxygen" lyrics

Thought you were my

Taxi driver tells me that I have to let you go
Words that I've heard from mother and
Everybody else I know
Want the pain to go away, so
I think red lights mean go
I took the stitches out early
And I watched the blood just flow

I don't wanna be so damn afraid
Of all this very necessary change
Hundred times I watched you walk away
And now I'm okay

I climbed out of the grave (Ah-ah, ah)
Sun shining on my face (Ah-ah, ah)
Ghosts are floating away (Ah-ah, ah)
Thought you were my oxygen
But you were just the opposite (Woo)

Saw you standing across the room
Holding some new hand
It's funny to think about how
Nothing went as planned
We lock eyes and cheers to the tears
That we cried
You can say what you want, but
You can't say we didn't try

I don't wanna be so damn afraid
Of all this very necessary change
Hundred times I watched you walk away
And now I'm okay

I climbed out of the grave (Ah-ah, ah)
Sun shining on my face (Ah-ah, ah)
Ghosts are floating away (Ah-ah, ah)
Thought you were my oxygen
But you were just the opposite

(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Thought you were my oxygen (Ah-ah, ah, ah)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
But you were just the opposite, yeah (Ah-ah, ah, ah)

Breathe free in a limousine
Top down with a summer breeze
I'm right where I wanna be
Yeah, right where I wanna be, mmm
This ride is a mystery
I'm fine for infinity
I'm right where I wanna be
I'm right where I wanna be

I climbed out of the grave (I climbed out of the grave)
Sun shining on my face (Sun shining on my face)
Ghosts are floating away (Ghosts are floating away)
Thought you were my oxygen
But you were just the opposite (Woo)

(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
(Ah-ah, ah, ah)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
But you were just the opposite, yeah (Ah-ah, ah, ah)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Thought you were my oxygen (Ah-ah, ah, ah)
(Ah-ah, ah-ah)
But you were just the opposite, yeah (Ah-ah, ah, ah)
