Lighter Than Air
Marlo; Feenixpawl Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

On my breath
A simple sigh
You breathe me out
And I am gone

Thought I was
More than that
The air thats keeping

You alive

You can’t deny
That when I left your mouth
You had already forgotten
I was in your life

I fell flat
Couldn’t imagine that
Was as easy to forget
As just a simple sigh

Just a sigh
You let me go
Lighter than air

I’m completely gone
From your mind
Soon as you
Breathe me out

Let me go
Lighter than air

Just a sigh
Let me go
Ligher than air

Just a sigh
Let me go
Ligher than air

Just a sigh
