The air between us isn't blessed, girl, it is cursed.

So many nights of wanting to hear her name on Natalia's lips, wanting to hear each syllable touch Natalia's mouth, aching to hear Natalia's voice caress the letter of her name.

The air between us isn't pure, girl, it is a disease.

So many nights of needing to see her own face reflected in Olivia's gaze, longing to see the expression resting on Olivia's face, desperate for just one moment under Olivia's stare.

The air between us isn't blessed, girl... it's just air.

"I can't take you back."
"I'll fight for you this time."
"I know..."

So many nights, with condemnation and with sin and with rosary beads and with brittle pages, Natalia couldn't find a bed of nails sharp enough to take away this hunger.
And so she left behind hallowed halls, running back, racing away to Springfield.

So many nights, with alcohol and with slurred speech and with former lovers and with dark dreams, Olivia couldn't find a numbness deep enough to take away this hunger.
And so she left behind stained bars, running back, racing away to home.

"All we do is hurt each other."
"I don't want to hurt you anymore."
"I don't want to hurt you."

The air between us isn't light, girl, it's so heavy.

And Olivia has just been waiting to hear her name come from Natalia's mouth.
And Natalia has just been waiting to see Olivia's face once again.

The air between us isn't blessed, girl... it's just air.
