Joseph A.A. - oxygen

Copied!edit Lyrics

★ Verse One ★
I was
At a concert this past Thursday
I saw you walk out the entrance
At the end of the show
In the midst of the crowd you walked behind

You
Glanced over your shoulder to your right
I didn’t mean to stare, but I did
And you just looked back at me and smiled

★ Pre-Chorus ★
And I
Didn’t know our arguments
Were just stepping stones to growing up as kids
But I’ve
Learned a thing or two along the way

And I
Didn’t know that your apartment
Had views of the upper west side
But I’ve
Thought a lot about you and I

★ Chorus ★
So this is when we go back to my house
And this is when I say without a doubt
I’ll never let you out of my grip again
(o-x-y-g-е-n breathe)
So this is when wе’re lying on my couch
And this is when to prove, I spell it out
Let me be the oxygen you breathe
(o-x-y-g-e-n breathe)

★ Verse Two ★
I am
Paranoid of driving these backroads
They’re the ones I took some months ago
But they’re a lot more welcoming
And they bring up a lot of old nostalgia

I
Reminisced back to the night of the show
When I saw you walk out those open doors
With nobody’s embrace to go home to
And sometimes the weekends all we need

★ Pre-Chorus ★
To know our arguments
Were just stepping stones to growing up as kids
But I’ve
Learned a thing or two along the way

And I
Now know that your apartment
Has views of the upper west side
But I’ve
Thought a lot about you and I

★ Chorus ★
So this is when we go back to my house
And this is when we say without a doubt
I’ll never let you out of my grip again
(o-x-y-g-e-n breathe)

So this is when we’re lying on my couch
And this is when to prove, I spell it out
Let me be the oxygen you breathe
(o-x-y-g-e-n breathe)

★ Bridge ★
I
Never know what to believe
When I’m at your door and down on my knees
Saying, "I’ll never be so moronic again"
(Please give me a second chance)

You
Deserve better than me
And I know that’s factual definitely
‘Cause I knew we weren’t just some juxtaposition
(Please give me a second chance)

★ Chorus ★
So this is when we go back to my house
And this is when we say without a doubt
I’ll never let you out of my grip again
(o-x-y-g-e-n breathe)
So this is when we’re lying on my couch
And this is when to prove, I spell it out
Let me be the oxygen you breathe
(o-x-y-g-e-n breathe)

Biography

edit bio

I have always loved to write and make music, and after looking up to so many of my favorite artists for so long, I decided to release my debut single, “seasons” on December 24, 2020. I wrote this song in under twenty minutes and ended up recording it in the same day.

While I loved working with that song, I knew exactly what I wanted my style to sound like for my sophomore single. I wanted an upbeat pop song that was completely unexpected and out of nowhere. I wrote “self reflection” with that mindset and kept that idea in the back of my mind.

I wanted “self reflection” to sound like the happier, continued version of “seasons” where the storyline character really found what they wanted and where they were going, and accepted the fact that there are two sides to a relationship, and it’s not one person’s obligation to take ownership for both people in that relationship.

I’m currently working on my debut album, and I cannot wait to share it with you as soon as I can!
