No Air Lyrics

[WILL'S GROUP]
Oh, oh, oh

[RACHEL]
If I should die before I wake
It's 'cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air, oh

[FINN]
I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
Wish there was a way that I could make you understand

[RACHEL]
But how do you expect me
To live alone with just me?
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

[RACHEL & FINN]
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you're gon' be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air
[BACKGROUND VOCALISTS]
No air, air (No)
No air, air (No)
No air, air (No)
No air, air

[FINN]
I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew
Right off the ground to float to you
There's no gravity to hold me down for real

[RACHEL]
But somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breath, but I survived
I don't know how, but I don't even care

[RACHEL & FINN]
So how do you expect me
To live alone with just me? (Ohh)
Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air? (Ohh, ohh)
Can't live, can't breathe with no air (Ohh, ohh)
That's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air (no air, no air)
Got me out here in the water, so deep (So deep)
Tell me how you gonna breathe without me? (Without me, yeah)
If you ain't here I just can't breathe (Breathe)
It's no air, no air (No, no air)
[BACKGROUND VOCALISTS]
No air, air (No)
No air, air (No)
No air, air (No)
No air, air... (No more)

[RACHEL & FINN]
No...
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
I can't live, I can't breathe with no air
That's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air (No breathin')
Got me out here in the water, so deep
Tell me how you gonna breathe without me?
If you ain't here I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air?
I can't live, I can't breathe with no air
That's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air

[RACHEL]
Got me out here in the water, so deep

[FINN]
Tell me how you gonna breathe without me?
[RACHEL]
If you ain't here I just can't breathe

[RACHEL & FINN]
It's no air, no air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air

About

Genius Annotation

No Air by Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown is featured in Throwdown, the seventh episode of Season One. It is sung by Will’s Group, with solos from Finn (Cory Monteith) and Rachel (Lea Michele).

Sue (Jane Lynch) becomes co-director of the New Directions and creates her own sub-group, Sue’s Kids, created to beat the original New Directions at Sectionals. Quinn (Dianna Agron) is visibly angry that Finn and Rachel are taking the lead solos because she sees they’re growing extremely close as they practice.

The song was to be performed later on in the episode, however Sue interrupted the song, which lead to her and Will having a fight. This song was originally planned for Sectionals, until Sue resigns as co-director of the New Directions.
