[Instrumental Intro]

[Intro]
I've been hiding in this bed for weeks from this
Throats raw from screaming and I haven't said a word
The sky is calling
And the stars, they point to this

[Verse 1]
To a chair we see your breath in the air (breath in the air)
But only for a little while
Your cold pale skin and tainted purple lips
Let me embrace you with this kiss

[Pre-Chorus]
And together we'll float like angels
Together, together we will float like angels

[Chorus]
Higher than the heavens the clouds part ways
"Promise me to never look down!", and we'll stay like this forever

[Bridge]
If your stomach feels weak, then my work here is done

[Outro]
To hide from our twisted ways
I've been hiding in this bed
Been hiding in this bed for weeks
