Oxygen Lyrics
Half-life of oxygen spent breathing homesick air
Tearing my heart apart, yours ticks without a tear
Slow down, I haven't moved at all
The cold can't kill us but we won't survive the fall
Slipping, falling away
Hold on day to day, year to year, from here to there
Poison my speaking voice with half-truths and denials
Converting oxygen by living, breathing, suffering, screaming
We can't, we can, we will, we will, we won't
Slow down
Tearing my heart apart, yours ticks without a tear
Slow down, I haven't moved at all
The cold can't kill us but we won't survive the fall
Hold on day to day, year to year, from here to there
Converting oxygen by living, breathing, suffering, screaming
Slow down
This song is really great, but you can't tell just by looking at the words. My favorite line is "Tearing my heart apart, yours ticks without a tear"....."converting oxygen by living, breathing, suffering, screaming"
This song is one of my all-time faves. I love hearing Gabe's choirboy vocals during the chorus and verses then hearing Rory tear $hit up on the "We can't, we can" part. That's what made 'em great.
This is the first Impossibles song I ever heard and it really got me hooked on them. They are now my favorite band and this song still competes with the best of them. It is worth listening to.
Nothing compares to this song. Forget looking back or changing.
