[Verse] the neighbour hits the ceiling with a broom at 1:03 in the afternoon you clap back once, then twice, then three like you're trying to teach the building a beat the radiator coughs up brown heat my shirt is stuck to the plastic seat on the balcony, the city hums with its little fists and its expensive gums [Chorus] oxygen turn it on oxygen turn it on oxygen not your apology oxygen turn it on [Verse] you read my texts over my shoulder say my punctuation's getting colder I say your ex's bike is still downstairs like a threat with handlebars and flat tyres sirens make the kitchen flash blue you put on lipstick to argue through then the record skips on one bright word and we both go quiet like we heard [Chorus] oxygen turn it on oxygen turn it on oxygen not your apology oxygen turn it on [Breakdown] ceiling, broom cheap perfume oxygen oxygen [Verse] your shadow moves under the signal red hand blinking: don't be difficult the corner shop has locked its door we laugh too loud, then want some more you take my wrist, not quite a truce say, "we can't keep living on fumes" the traffic changes, green and gone oxygen turn it on [Chorus] oxygen turn it on oxygen turn it on oxygen not your apology oxygen turn it on
