Lyrics

Hold back and fight among the stars
We can be the lucky ones
If we could only levitate
Lie low, dear, dance beneath the trees
If only we had oxygen
And 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
And we can be the wealthy ones
If we could only emigrate
These walls get closer by the night
Everything is delicate
And everything in flight
And we can watch
While the beauty takes its toll
And we can stop
While the world retreats
Written by: David O'Dowda, Marino Canal
