Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I was trapped inside a glass heart
Shattered by the lights that were bouncing off the walls inside
And I've been drifting in a daydream
Fantasies that keep me in my bed and awake at night
[PreChorus]
Floating and drifting and flying through the open sky
[Chorus]
And I'm lost
Lost without you
I'm lost in space
Lost in space
Turning through the sky, around a screaming ball of fire
Love
Love when I'm with you
A warm embrace
A warm embrace
The more we give ourselves, the more we have to give away
[Verse 2]
I was a flowering young angel
Hungry for the wisdom that the animals held in their hands
I let the darkness in to teach me
I learned more than I wanted, when I tried, I couldn't look away
[PreChorus]
Floating and drifting and flying through the open sky
[Chorus]
And I'm lost
Lost without you
I'm lost in space
Lost in space
Turning through the sky, around a screaming ball of fire
Love
Love when I'm with you
A warm embrace
A warm embrace
The more we give ourselves, the more we have to give away
[Bridge]
Just look for the signs of glowing afterlife
'Cause they're all around us
Just look for the signs of glowing afterlife
'Cause they're all around
I wanna follow you there
You know I'll follow you anywhere
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm lost
Lost without you
I'm lost in space
Lost in space
Turning through the sky, just looking for a sign
Love
Love when I'm with you
A warm embrace
A warm embrace
The more we give ourselves, the more we have to give away
[Outro]
'Cause we are in the search for glowing afterlife
'Cause we are in the search for glowing afterlife
