So paint me on your right hand
 Now let's fly off Superman style
 You know it would be so good
 I'd never look back
 With every bit of breath I take
 My thoughts say I want you
 And there is nothing I can do
 To control these natural instincts
 If you're ready we can take it to the heights

 And the Air We Breathe will take us
 The Air We Breathe
 And no, the loneliness won't break us
 Coz I know all we need
 Is the Air We Breathe
 The Air We Breathe

 Apollo's turned and twisted
 (oh my god)
 As you take me in your arms tonight
 (take me in your arms tonight)
 Oh, it feels so quiet
 In turbulent times
 (tur-bu-lent times)

 Well I, I think I'll build a stairway
 And like a Roman in your heart
 I will climb and we can start
 To journey on past all these satin sheets
 And lift it past all of our control

 And the Air We Breathe will take us
 The Air We Breathe
 You know the loneliness won't break us
 Coz I know all we need
 Is the Air We Breathe
 The Air We Breathe

 Look up to the sky
 Ask yourself why
 Coz this enchanted evening
 wouldn't get you any higher
 Will the colours fade
 On all the crimson hearts we made
 Broken them before
 So it's time to take a flyer

 (breathe it in, breathe it out)
 (breathe it in, breathe it out)
 (breathe it in, breathe it out)
 (breathe it in, breathe it out)

 And the Air We Breathe will take us
 The Air We Breathe
 And no, the loneliness won't break us, no
 Coz I know all we need
 Is the Air We Breathe

 (breathe it in, breathe it out)
 (breathe it in, breathe it out)

 The Air We Breathe

 (breathe it in, breathe it out)
 (breathe it in, breathe it out)
 (breathe it in, breathe it out)

 And the Air We Breathe will take us

 (breathe it in, breathe it out)
 (breathe it in, breathe it out)

 The air we breathe
 And no, the loneliness won't break us
 Coz I know all we need
 Is the air we breathe
 (breathe it in, breathe it out)

 Is the air we breathe

 And the Air We Breathe will take us
