Stratosphere Stratosphere I saw what you emanate I held my hand to take A piece of it with me Passed through me like gamma rays It burned my soul to see A thing with such beauty Stratosphere Floating in your stare Take me far from here Are you even there? I miss the way you felt to breathe And it fills me with despair, oh Stratosphere You fill my lungs and take away the air I climbed to where the sky fades 'Til I'm a castaway 'Til I asphyxiate I caught your eyes, bird of prey And I can't cauterize The open wound you made Stratosphere Floating in your stare Take me far from here Are you even there? I miss the way you felt to breathe And it fills me with despair, oh Stratosphere You fill my lungs and take away the air I occasionally think how quickly Our differences worldwide would vanish If we were facing a threat From outside this world Stratosphere Stratosphere Stratosphere Floating in your stare Take me far from here Are you even there? I miss the way you felt to breathe And it fills me with despair, oh Stratosphere You fill my lungs and take away the air You fill my lungs and take away the air You fill my lungs and take away the air
