Mat Kearney - Air I Breathe Lyrics
From the album Just Kids
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 
It's the same fight all over again 
It's the same bite breaking in 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 
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 breathe. 
I feel like a contender 
Bringing my fist to 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 motion tonight 
It's the same fight all over again 
It's the same bite breaking in 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 
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 breathe. 
I hear you calling my name out name out 
Is there any other 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 breathe.
