Are you gonna catch my breath when I see you walking in?
You come and get my hand, stealing the oxygen
And everyone else in here disappears, is just the two of us in the room
I start to spin around the chandelier
In the buzz in the crowd I can feel the rush
'Cause you're clouding up my atmosphere

Everybody’s got somebody who gets them the way you got me
I still want you, I can’t stop me

Girl, I wanna run right to you, then I wanna run away
Girl, I got to hand it to you, you know how to make me pay
Girl, I wish I never knew ya, ‘cause every time I see you standing there
Oh, feels like I’m running out of air

You hit me like a wave, you cover me in the grass
I’m drowning in what you say, it’s taking me under, fast
As you’re taking me down the hall you make it easy for me to forget
‘Cause you’re saying everything you know I want you to say
And I’m getting in deeper the darker it gets
The lights go out I'm still surfacing

Everybody’s got somebody who gets them the way you got me
You got me right where you want me

Girl, I wanna run right to you, then I wanna run away
Girl, I got to hand it to you, you know how to make me pay
Girl, I wish I never knew ya, ‘cause everytime I see you standing there
Oh, feels like I’m running out of air

I still want you, I can’t stop me

Girl, I wanna run right to you, then I wanna run away
Girl, I got to hand it to you, you know how to make me pay
Girl, I wish I never knew ya, ‘cause every time I see you standing there
Girl, I wanna run right to you, then I wanna run away
Girl, I got to hand it to you, you know how to make me pay
Girl, I wish I never knew ya, ‘cause every time I see you standing there
Oh, feels like I’m running out of air

I’m running out of air, running out of air
