Oxygen

(album: Native Tongue - 2019)

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 from 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 from 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, from miles away
Up like a rocket ship ascends, it's drifting up into space
And I'm running out of oxygen
