If You Need Air
Tim Thornton (Sad Bear Music/ASCAP)

Summer evening, her face aglow
On a photo placed by the mirror to show
She thinks of that life and how she knows
If you want to feel the sun you gotta get outside the door

If you need air morning’s shining now if only in my eyes
We’ll drink this sun like wine
If you want to talk I’ve got lots of time
And if you need space I could give you some of mine

She applies mascara to her tired eyes
And admits to the mirror looking good aint no life
Keeps herself so safe inside
But If you want to feel the rain you gotta get under the sky

If you need air morning’s shining now if only in my eyes
We’ll drink this sun like wine
If you want to talk I’ve got lots of time
And if you need space I could give you some of mine

She’s the beauty in a concrete scene
All of her freedom is hidden in her dreams
All her dreams are hidden in the night
Where they won’t fly

When you got high rises in your eyes and exhaust in your lungs
My soul’s the wind so come on and open the window some
Let in the rain and I will bring the sun
If you breathe like me I won’t be the only one

If you need air morning’s shining now if only in my eyes
We’ll drink this sun like wine
If you want to talk I’ve got lots of time
And if you need space I could give you some of mine
