Lyrics
The World Retreats
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hold back and fight among the stars
We could be the lucky ones
If we could only levitate
Fly low dear, dance beneath the trees
If only we had oxygen
Then we'd begin to breathe
And we can watch
While the beauty takes its toll
And we can stop
While the world retreats
Lie low dear
Fix yourself a life
We could be the wealthy ones
If we could only emigrate
These walls get closer by the night
Everything gets delicate
And everything in flight
And we can watch
While the beauty takes its toll
And we can stop
While the world retreats
