Alexander Oscar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get lost in the city of fire
I roam the streets but I can′t seem to find ya' (I don′t know where)
I'm going in and out of my mind
Feels like I'm walking on a tight line
I need you now but I can′t seem to find
Ya′ (I hear you calling in the distance)
Oh oh ohh
I follow your echo, I follow your echo

Oh oh ohh
Why do I get lost
When I look at
You uhh, you uhh
I see stars on the dark sky
You uhh, you uhh
Make me warm like the sunlight
Love how you don't know, you make angels feel bad
I want that
You uhh, you uhh
Make me warm like the sunlight
I feel it coming, I can′t deny
You make me nervous, I come alive
Yeah in your eyes, I see the sky
Just let me fall in, to your divine
Oh oh ohh
I follow your echo, I follow your echo
Oh oh ohh
Why do I gеt lost
When I look at
You uhh, you uhh
I see stars on the dark sky
You uhh, you uhh
Make mе warm like the sunlight
Love how you don't know, you make angels feel bad
I want that
You uhh, you uhh
Make me warm like the sunlight
Don′t know what I'll do if you decided to leave me
Baby don′t you let me go (Ahh don't go)
Cause I, never had a feeling like this just believe me
Yeah I gotta let you know
When I look at
You uhh, you uhh
I see stars on the dark sky
You uhh, you uhh
Make me warm like the sunlight
You uhh, you uhh
I see stars on the dark sky
You uhh, you uhh
Make me warm like the sunlight
Love how you don't know, you make angels feel bad
I want that

You uhh, you uhh
Make me warm like the sunlight
