Born and raised
Under the rain and a western wind
Felt the weight
Trying to live up to they say I am
Is it any wonder
Shame comes calling my first name
Is there any question
If I'm the one here left to blame
Pre-Chorus
It's the same fight
All over again
It's the same bite
Breaking on my skin
It's the same light
When you let me in
You let me in
You let me in
You are the air I breathe (Oh, Oh)
You are the song I bleed (Oh, Oh)
You are the war that I can't win
This is my white flag in the wind
Every word you speak (Oh, Oh)
Is the air I breathe
I feel like a contender
Bringing my fist to a pistol war
I surrender
That I need you now, and you've loved me more
It's like an ocean
Over my head, and I'm under the light
In slow mo - tion tonight
Repeat Pre-Chorus
I hear you calling my name out name out
Is there any other way now (Way now)
I hear you calling my name out, name out
I got nothing left to say now, say now
You are the air I breathe
You are the song I bleed
You are the war that I can't win
This is my white flag in the wind
Every word you speak
Is the air I
Repeat Chorus
Is the air I breathe
