This year, we disappeared
Fell into all our fears
Can’t seem to find the air
I’m suffocating
Our love turned to rust
It vanished like the dust
There’s nothing left of us
I’m suffocating
CHORUS
Feels like drowning
Life without you is like trying to
Breathe underwater
I’m suffocating
So take me higher
I’m down on my knees, and I’m trying to
Breathe underwater
I need you
You are oxygen
Fix us, the mess I made
My heart is yours to save
Breathe life into my veins
You are oxygen
The words that I can’t say
When I shiver, you're the flame
When I thirst, you're the rain
You are oxygen
CHORUS
Shine down
Give me rain
Wash over all the pain
I’m calling out your name
You are oxygen
CHORUS
Everything I want
All I need and more
Everything I need
All I’m living for
Everything to me
The air I breathe is you
You are oxygen

Behind the Song:'There’s a girl I’ve always liked and she even asked me out on a date at one point, but I’m not at a place where I’m ready to do that since we’re embarking on this season of so much traveling with our music ministry. That idea broke my heart for some time and almost made me feel like I was suffocating for awhile without her, though who knows, we may have that relationship some day. Either way, I relate that feeling back to God. Without Him, we’re going through life suffocating. I wanted the song to be something for anyone who experienced loss, death, divorce or leaving behind their relationship with God to know that other people have been in their shoes and God can relive that pain in time.' - Adam Klutinoty (
