Exhale
Kamaliza Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Touch down in your city
It's you first who I call
Both of us been busy
And summer turned to fall

Take me out tonight
I wanna hear your truth
Time ain't on our side

Show me your point of view

The lake mirrors the depth you give
I replay every thought
Cause in this moment is all I ever wanted
I am yours

So say you still remember
Sending me off to watch the Neptune play with the sun
Cause I miss your taste upon my tongue
Like darkness needs the moon
When I'm in your town, show me around

Basic birds are plenty
But you were hard to find
I relapse without consequence
For you, I give my time

Present when I hear you speak
Watch as you exhale
Only share my gift with you
On warm water, we sail

So say you still remember
Sending me off to watch the Neptune play with the sun
Cause I miss your taste upon my tongue

Like darkness needs the moon
When I'm in your town, show me around
