Only Us
Kygo; Haux Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stolen tears in the fastback
Telling lies 'til the lungs black
Silhouette, will you ride out
With me?
With me

And we're so close
Come so far
Two strangers in the dark

I want you to know
Want you to say
It's only us, only us
I want you to know
Don't be afraid
It's only us, only us

I want you to know
Want you to say
It's only us, only us
I want you to know
Want you to say
It's only us, only us

Steady eyes on the way back
Heavy hearts when they fade black
Silhouette with the cold sweat
Stay up with me
With me

And we're so close
Come so far
We're falling in the dark

I want you to know
Want you to say
It's only us, only us
I want you to know
Don't be afraid
It's only us, only us

I want you to know
Want you to say
It's only us, only us
I want you to know
Want you to say
It's only us, only us

It's only us
(Only us)
It's only us
(Only us)
It's only us
(Only us)
It's only us
It's only us (only us)
Only us

Won't let you let me go
Won't let you let me go
Won't let you let me go
Won't let you let me go
Won't let you let me go
Won't let you let me go





(Only us)
Won't let you let me go (only us)
