ANTIDOTE
newfamiliar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m sitting on my own with the lights down low
It's cold up here, and I can′t heed my soul
Caught between the sky and the streets below
I'm missing you and I can't let go

You took me to the stars but
Then we fell, and I never
Hit the ground

I′m hanging from the cloud I′m in
The darkest one, no silver lining
Waiting for the antidote, it's you
And I can′t stop holding on
Can't stop, stop holding on
Can′t stop, stop holding on
Can't stop, stop holding on

The thought of moving on I promise I′ve tried
But all of the memoires echo in my mind
The feeling of you beside me at night
Waking up without you just doesn't feel right

You took me to the stars but
Then we fell, and I never
Hit the ground

I'm hanging from the cloud I′m in
The darkest one, no silver lining
Waiting for the antidote, it′s you
And I can't stop holding on
Can′t stop, stop holding on
Can't stop, stop holding on
Can′t stop, stop holding on

It's not having you that′s the poison
It's not having you here
It feels like there's only one thing to cure this
I′m empty, I′m void in this atmosphere

It's not having you that′s the poison
It's not having you here
It feels like there′s only one thing to cure this
I'm empty, I′m void in this atmosphere
Tell me we're gonna get through this

I'm hanging from the cloud I′m in
The darkest one, no silver lining
Waiting for the antidote, it′s you
And I can't stop holding on
Can′t stop, stop holding on

Can't stop, stop holding on
Can′t stop, stop holding on

I'm sitting on my own with the lights down low
I'm alone in the dark

It's cold up here, and I can't heed my soul
I feel lonely and lost

Caught between the sky and the streets below
Feeling stuck and uncertain

I'm missing you and I can't let go
Can't move on from past relationship

You took me to the stars but
We had great moments together

Then we fell, and I never
But it ended badly

Hit the ground
And I never fully moved on

I'm hanging from the cloud I'm in
Feeling stuck and down

The darkest one, no silver lining
In a very difficult situation

Waiting for the antidote, it's you
Only thing that can heal me is rekindling relationship

And I can't stop holding on
Can't let go of the past
