Lyrics
Oxygen
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.
You were there at the door
You said: I don't know how to say this
But I want more
I don't know how you're gonna take this
And my mind went sore
And my body went weightless
I couldn't find the floor
I couldn't find the floor
And you walked away
And I saw fireworks imploding frame by frame
Like watching a movie in slow motion, I'm miles away
Up like a rocket ship ascends, it's drifting up into space
And I'm running out of oxygen
We can't go back to the first
Losing stories like leap year
With fake smiles and words
Just a ghost left to be near
I'm not sure how this works
What do you want me to say, dear?
All I know is it hurts
All I know is it hurts
And you walked away
And I saw fireworks imploding frame by frame
Like watching a movie in slow motion, I'm miles away
Up like a rocket ship ascends, it's drifting up into space
And I'm running out of oxygen
I'm drifting out of the hemisphere
So far away
All of the memories disappear
And start to fade
And you walked away
And I saw fireworks imploding frame by frame
Like watching a movie in slow motion, I'm miles away
Up like a rocket ship ascends, it's drifting up into space
And I'm running out of oxygen
