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 I hope I get some sleep on the plane Wake up, it's just another runway And home's 5000 miles away It's getting me down Yeah, we can be better and we know it We can feel something in the air You're telling me you'll be here forever But what does that mean if I'm not there? 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 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 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 Cuz we can be better and we know it We can feel something in the air You're telling me you'll be here forever But what does that mean if I'm not there? 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 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 Cuz it's making me me 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
