Lyrics

Push her hair back from her face
as now is where you are
Don't get up without a smile
as she can cure the past
Hold her when the future's blurred
you owe her gentle arms
Keep your fists against your sides
Don't you ever do her harm

Push her hair back from her face
as now is who you are
Take her to that place inside
and show her that she's loved
Emptiness has made you cold
but she'll nurse you till you're strong
Keep that trust safe in her eyes
don't you ever do her harm

Only living just below not making it
can surely take it's toll
on those where compensation is a dream forgot
so close to over

Something like the need for air

It's close to over
Visions and dreams of life
so close to over

Only living just below not making it
can surely take it's toll
on those where compensation is a dream forgot
so close to over

Something like the need for air
The need for air
