Stella
Teenage Wrist Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Goodnight", she said
Stella, refrain
′Cause I'm running out of breath to hold
We melt away
Shadows in shade
Surrendering the life we know

This is everything
Hold onto me

Ooh-ooh-ooh
I′ll never feel this way again, no
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'll never feel the same again, no

And down again
We will descend
To the haunted places no one knows
Be still, the time
We don't decide
When moments fade and silence grows

This is everything
Hold onto me

Ooh-ooh-ooh
I′ll never feel this way again, no




Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I′ll never feel the same again, no
