Lyrics

Recycled Air

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.

I take a breath and pull the air in 'til there's

Nothing left

I'm feeling green like teenage lovers between

The sheets

Ba ba ba ba...

Knuckles clenched to white as the landing

Gear retract for flight

My head's a balloon inflating with the

Altitude

Ba ba ba ba...

I watch the patchwork farms' slow fade into

The ocean's arms

And from here they can't see me stare

The stale taste of recycled air

I watch the patchwork farms' slow fade into

The ocean's arms

Calm down, release your cares

The stale taste of recycled air
