Official lyrics

[Intro]
Stratosphere
Stratosphere

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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.

[Verse 2]
I climb to where the sky fades,
till I’m a castaway, till I asphyxiate.
I caught your eyes, bird of prey,
and I can’t cauterize the open wound you made.

[Chorus]
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.

[Bridge]
“I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing a threat…
…from outside this world”

(Stratosphere)
(Stratosphere)

[Chorus]
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.

[Outro]
You fill my lungs and take away the air.
You fill my lungs and take away the air.
