you held the dawn back with your stare

and silenced me

a single kiss is all i ask my sweet

i need your love like i need air

so i can breathe

i promise i will send you word

that i'm ok.

when we touch down i'll see the earth

and i will say

i need your love like i need air

so i can breathe

and your face will be the thing

that gets me home

and will you wear that backless

dress and say

i need your love like i need air

so i can breathe
