ONPAUSE Lyrics by ELIO

something in the air

2024

[Verse 1]
We were on the edge of being nothing
And for a second there I thought about jumping
But all the heaviness of gravity goes away when you’re here touching me
Even though we’re getting close to falling

[Pre-Chorus]
It's too soon, too much to live and let it die
But I can't keep us alive

[Chorus]
Ignore the pain
Sever my mind with space and time
When I'm away
I kill the lights and shut the blinds
Inside my brain
Pretend the problem is gone
When I put it on pause
Just stop the time
So we don't have to say goodbye
Have to say goodbye
So we don't have to

[Verse 2]
Burn until we’re bound to break open
‘Cause when I get home the tables start turning
And all this awfulness inside of me will go away and turn to tragedy
Even though I know we both wanna solve it

[Pre-Chorus]
It's too soon, too much to live and let it die
But I can't keep us alive

[Chorus]
Ignore the pain
Sever my mind with space and time
When I'm away
I kill the lights and shut the blinds
Inside my brain
Pretend the problem is gone
When I put it on pause
Just stop the time
So we don't have to say goodbye
Have to say goodbye
So we don't have to

[Bridge]
And you know I’ll be the one trying to make this right
Take on most of the pain when I know it ain’t mine
I shed a tear with the way you got me in my mind
But won’t move on, won’t let this stop

[Chorus]
Ignore the pain
Sever my mind with space and time
When I'm away
I kill the lights and shut the blinds
Inside my brain
Pretend the problem is gone
When I put it on pause
Just stop the time
So we don't have to say goodbye

[Outro]
Shed a tear with the way you got me in my mind
Have to say goodbye
So we don’t have to (Oh)
Have to say goodbye
I kill the lights
So we don’t have to
