Need for air

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 surey take it's toll
on those where compensation is a dream forgot
so close to over

Something like the need for air
