Her
Shapeshifter NZ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to wake up without the need to fight
Lend me your hand, your voice
If only we had a choice
If only we took a stand

Live without the borders
It's only around the bend
Lumination taught us

It's all in our sights again

When I'm with you I'm flying high

When I'm with you I'm flying high
My head's like a balloon, I feel light
Nothing to lose, it's just a ride, yeah
Holding onto you for dear life

Something so cruel to take our time
Stole a flick of hope as the beacon shines
We could run away if tomorrow's fine
Just ignite satellite

The lull of the moon drawing high
Weight of all the world diamondized
Every little piece of the universe
Knows its place just for her

And my bearing's gone
Drifting away from her
I like the sacrifice
Of drifting away from her

Now as I circle first, drifting away with her
Now as I circle her, shifting away with her
Now as I circle first, drifting away with her
Orientate she eclipse all the life and dark of her

And I feel like driving at light speed, lights, please, let's breathe
And it feels like we're flying at light speed, forgot to breathe

And it feels like we're flying at light speed, can't forget, got to breathe in now
I will never forget your spirit, I will edify
