Verse 1:
To say I love you
Is equivalent
To saying I breathe air
Such sustenance as I derive from oxygen devolves
So liberally so reflexively upon me

Verse 2:
Were I deprived
Of atmosphere
The words "I breathe" would not avail
To fill my lungs with what they need nor would
the words
"I am a fish" convert my lungs to gills

Chorus:

Air all around
But I would drown
Without you there
Because I breathe you
Because I breathe you
[Repeat]

Verse 3:
To say I love you
Is equivalent
To saying I breathe air
Ethereal by nature not by choice I'm bound to
love you
Notwithstanding my voice

[Repeat Chorus]
