Oxygen Thief Lyrics by Knox, captures the feeling of intense, all-consuming love. The singer describes how their partner takes their breath away—literally and emotionally—leaving them vulnerable but willingly so. Each moment with this person feels like both a risk and a reward. They surrender completely, even if it means losing themselves in the process. The phrase “oxygen thief” symbolizes how this love leaves them breathless yet fulfilled.

Oxygen Thief Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fingertips dance on your hips as you’re tracing my face
The back of my head is your hand’s favorite resting place
And just like the scar covered up by my hair
You’re etched in my skin like you’ve always been there
If love is the death of me, darling, I’ll dig my own grave
[Chorus]
So take what you want
Take all the air from my lungs
Got me coming undone
Heart open, don’t sew me back shut
No
You steal every breath when you walk in the room
Turn every hеad, but when I look at you
It’s just you and me
So take what you need
Oxygеn thief
[Verse 2]
Trying my best to pretend I don’t have much to lose
But the rise and the fall in my chest is all up to you, no, no
Oh, if I’m going down it’s gonna be for us
I’m not afraid of drowning, so go ahead and
[Chorus]
Take what you want
Take all the air from my lungs
Got me coming undone
Heart open, don’t sew me back shut
No
You steal every breath when you walk in the room
Turn every head, but when I look at you
It’s just you and me
So take what you need
Oxygen thief
[Bridge]
How do I, how do I breathe?
How do I, how do I breathe?
When you’re right there, looking the way that you do next to me
How do I, how do I breathe?
How do I, how do I breathe?
If there’s no air left in my chest, I swear that’s fine with me
[Chorus]
Oh, so take what you want
Take all the air from my lungs
Got me coming undone
Heart open, don’t sew me back shut
Don’t you sew me back shut
You steal every breath when you walk in the room
Turn every head, but when I look at you
It’s just you and me
So take what you need
