Atmosphere
Dusted Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Try to remember
Tie it ′round your finger
It all goes away
Into the atmosphere
What, what just happened
Something in him snapped him
He said "Don't want to leave
Don′t want to disapear"

It leaves you right when you needed it most
It leaves you right when you needed it most

Try not to forget this
Last night's dirty dishes
Oh, when you hear the sound
Everything you hold dear
What if I told you
Someday when you're older
You will evaporate
Into the atmosphere

It leaves you
Right when you need it the most
It leaves you
Right when you need it the most
Believe me,
Right when you need it the most




Believe me,
I don′t mean anything else
