Breathing
Love is in the air; breathe.
Love is in the air. Baby, breathe.
Baby's laugh is so sweet.
Be a good boy, and you'll get a treat.

Don't hold back the tears.
See here, you can freely inhale
Run away from these lights like a deer.
Your skin is so stale and pale.

I swear, I didn't dance on top of you.
But I am a good liar, so I did.
Here to change your reputation
Don't look at me; mind the duration.

You can't hold in every breath.
Let your lungs rest.
I can tell you're pressed.
Put my precision to the test.

Breathe—mind the oxygen saturation.
Feel through your body every oscillation.
The changes in tone in your voice
Can you really not breathe, or is it by choice?

Avoid the cost; I won't toy
With your emotions, of course
Trust me, this is not a ploy.
Breathe it in without pause.
  
As wide as possible, open up your lungs.
Breathe me in, oh, let me in.
I can make you speak in tongues.
I'm medicine, so hurry up and swallow me.
  
My scent is friendly and scrumptious.
Allow the antidote to coarsen through your veins.
Speak now, or leave it to your subconscious.
Focus, and there won't be any stains.

Through your whole being, let me roam free.
I want to see your worst on the surface.
No honey is required to catch this bee.
It's a war with no rules and lip service.

It's fair, maybe not the fairest.
Build you up just to break you down.
I am going to be the first and the rarest.
No need for caution; I'll look out for your crown.

Breathe in this healthy drug.
I said, "I never left; always present in the air."
It's impossible to sweep me under the rug.
If I come, it's to stay, not to be an affair.
