- Meaning
[Chorus: Arlo Parks]
I'm useless, out of my depth
I don't wanna lose myself again
I'm useless, out of my depth
Baby, I need your oxygen (When do I start to feel myself again?)
I'm useless, out of my depth
I don't wanna lose myself again (So useless)
I'm useless, out of my depth (Need your oxygen)
Baby, I need your oxygen
So breathe
[Verse: Khalid]
Only 6 a.m. and I'm out searchin' for morning glory
Many of us make it through the madness to tell our stories
Couple hundred million of us shackled by our depression
No one can escape our fate, the world brings us no exceptions
Even in my bed, I feel afraid when the lights go off
Just my thoughts and I and I've been dying to clear my conscience
Like the walls are closing on me, I get so claustrophobic
Open up my eyes, I'm still surrounded by all this darkness
And I know that
[Chorus: Arlo Parks]
I'm useless, out of my depth
I don't wanna lose myself again
I'm useless, out of my depth
Baby, I need your oxygen (When do I start to feel myself again?)
I'm useless, out of my depth
I don't wanna lose myself again (So useless)
I'm useless, out of my depth (Need your oxygen)
Baby, I need your oxygen
So breathe
[Bridge: Arlo Parks]
Searching through the darkness
For something I could do differently
Something I could do differently
Seven weeks, I've been lost at sea
So cold in my apartment
Feelin' my tears start to freeze
Feelin' my tears start to freeze
Seven weeks, I've been lost at sea
[Chorus: Arlo Parks & Khalid, Arlo Parks]
I'm useless, out of my depth
I don't wanna lose myself again
I'm useless, out of my depth
Baby, I need your oxygen (When do I start to feel myself again?)
I'm useless, out of my depth
I don't wanna lose myself again (So useless)
I'm useless, out of my depth (Need your oxygen)
Baby, I need your oxygen
So breathe
