Oxygen Songtext
von Emeli Sandé

Too much small talk, well, my darling, that′s bad for our health
Turns your talks so small, you'll turn into somebody else
Swimming in the shallow end really ain′t getting us far
I wanna know where you've been, who you need, why you left, why you cry
I wanna know who you are

So baby, let's get deep
Whisper all our secrets under sheets
Take me where you visit in your dreams
Then kiss me hard like I′m your only oxygen, oxygen
Now baby, please, let me wash my sins deep in your stream
Feels as if you′re teaching me to breathe
Baby, please, stay close, you are my oxygen, my oxygen, yeah

Mama said, "My baby, please be careful with your heart
Thugs and thieves and wolves are lurking out there in their dark"
I tried to live a life in fear, but that really didn't get me far
I wanna know who you are, where you′ve been, what you need, how you love
I wanna know who you are


So baby, please, let's get deep
Whisper all our secrets under sheets
Take me where you visit in your dreams
Then kiss me hard like I′m your only oxygen, oxygen
Now baby, please, let me wash my sins deep in your stream
Feels as if you're teaching me to breathe
Baby, please, stay close, you are my oxygen, my oxygen

I wanna be what you need
Who you need, whenever you need it, I just wanna be there
I wanna be what you need
Who you need, whenever you need it, I just wanna be there
I wanna be what you need
Who you need, whenever you need it, I just wanna be there
I wanna be what you need
Who you need, whenever you need it, I just wanna be there

And if you trust me with spirit, I will trust mine with you
If you fall from the building I will hold on to you
If you kneel by the river, I will wash over you
I wanna be what you need
Who you need, whenever you need it, I just wanna be there

So baby, let′s get deep
Whisper all our secrets under sheets
Take me where you visit in your dreams
Then kiss me hard like I'm your only oxygen (only oxygen)
Oxygen, yeah
