Hours away Lyrics by ​liam ello

i’ll burn my lungs to keep you warm

2021

[Verse 1]
And so it's settled then
You're hours away from me
It feels so different
Like this room is collapsing
The feeling settled in
Now it's awfully real to me
I thought it wouldn't hit so hard because I knew you had to leave

[Pre-Chorus]
I knew you had to
I knew you had to leave
I knew you had to
I knew you, I knew
I knew you had to leave
I knew you had to
I knew you had to
I knew you had to leave
I knew you-

[Chorus]
And so it's settled then
You're hours away from me
I'm in the ocean, in the watеr, can you hold me while I'm sinking?
Can you see me through your window? If you'rе breathing can you reach me?
Hold your breath and dive in, the water's beautiful from underneath
(everything was perfect)
We ended at the highlights
And we were making headlines
Now I'm sitting at the bottom of the sea
I didn't break my neck on impact
Now I'm drowning at the high tide
Is this really what it feels like to be free?

[Verse 2]
And so it's settled then
You're hours away from me
It feels so different
Like this room is collapsing
The feeling settled in
Now it's awfully real to me
I thought it wouldn't hit so hard because you knew i had to leave

'Cos I'm too broke for Los Angeles
I've been burning butterflies just trying to change reality
And I still remember everything
(and I can't escape the gravity of it)
We were a tritone apart
We were never perfect
But we tried so fucking hard
Tell me was it worth it?
Was it worth it?
Was it worth it?

[Chorus]
And so it's settled then
You're hours away from me
I'm in the ocean, in the water, can you hold me while I'm sinking?
Can you see me through your window? If you're breathing can you reach me?
Hold your breath and dive in, the water's beautiful from underneath
(everything was perfect)
We ended at the highlights
And we were making headlines
Now I'm sitting at the bottom of the sea
I didn't break my neck on impact
Now I'm drowning at the high tide
Is this really what it feels like to be
