Hélium
Chris Lake & Jareth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You filled me with your love.
It feels so good, it feels so good,
Like I'm never coming down.
And ever since that day,
The ground beneath me fades away,
It fades away.
Watch me go.
Float away like helium, your love.
Fill me up,
Like helium, like helium, your love.
Up here I'm exposed.
I never felt this close,
To atmosphere. The atmosphere,
Has really got me.
And ever since that day,
The ground beneath me fades away,
It fades away.
And watch me go,
Watch me go.
Float away like helium, your love.
Things I say always seem to come into play,
But ever since I met you that day,
The ground beneath me fades away.
And watch me go,
Watch me go.
Float away, like helium, your love.
Fill me up.
And watch me go,
Watch me go.
Float away, like helium,
Like helium, your love.
