Mitski, Xiu Xiu - Between The Breaths lyrics
[Mitski, Xiu Xiu - Between The Breaths lyrics]
As you look to the stars
Oh you could find
Illuminated in scars
A face aligned
I am saving a space
Between the breaths
I am making your place
Between the breaths
As the flame is to snow
First love to last
I will laugh in your face
Like shattered glass
I am saving the space
Between the breaths
We are saving a place
Between the breaths
Between the breaths
Between the breaths
Between the breaths
Between the breaths
I've seen it
Oh and I breathe it
I've seen it
Oh and I breathe it
I never said where I came from
You never asked what I was made of
You didn't need to know
You already know
I said it even so
You didn't need to know
You never said you couldn't see me
Never a hint you couldn't be me
I could never say
I didn't need to say
Now I'm fine although
It was touch and go
Counting the breaths
Until you
Oh la la
Oh la la
Oh la la
Oh la la
The distance between us
Solved by a shrug
Just a shrug of dark matter
Just a shrug of dark matter
You thought you saw a new star
You caught a fright
You think you wish you may
You wish you might
Be saving the space
Between the breaths
We are saving a place
Between the breaths
I've seen it
Oh and I breathe it
I've seen it
Oh and I breathe it
Between the breaths
Between the breaths
Between the breaths
You never said you couldn't see me
Never a hint you couldn't be me
I could never say
I didn't need to say
I said it even though
You didn't need to know
A sky full of messages
Sealed in bottles
Smash the omens
Our days are not numbered
Scream in my mouth
I'll barely hear you
Flame to snow
First love to last
Brand on brow
First love to now
Questions posed
Uncut the throat
You don't have to ask
First love to last
Let's meet at the same time
Every night
Starlight on skin
Is a million years old
You never asked my age
You never questioned my rage
Let's meet at the same time
Every morning
The blood in my gut
Is a thousand years old
But you are the sweetest infection
You are the sweetest infection
I could never know
I didn't need to know
You said it even though
You could never know
Oh no no oh
Oh no no oh
Oh no no oh
Oh you could find
Illuminated in scars
A face aligned
I am saving a space
Between the breaths
I am making your place
Between the breaths
As the flame is to snow
First love to last
I will laugh in your face
Like shattered glass
I am saving the space
Between the breaths
We are saving a place
Between the breaths
Between the breaths
Between the breaths
Between the breaths
Between the breaths
I've seen it
Oh and I breathe it
I've seen it
Oh and I breathe it
I never said where I came from
You never asked what I was made of
You didn't need to know
You already know
I said it even so
You didn't need to know
You never said you couldn't see me
Never a hint you couldn't be me
I could never say
I didn't need to say
Now I'm fine although
It was touch and go
Counting the breaths
Until you
Oh la la
Oh la la
Oh la la
Oh la la
The distance between us
Solved by a shrug
Just a shrug of dark matter
Just a shrug of dark matter
You thought you saw a new star
You caught a fright
You think you wish you may
You wish you might
Be saving the space
Between the breaths
We are saving a place
Between the breaths
I've seen it
Oh and I breathe it
I've seen it
Oh and I breathe it
Between the breaths
Between the breaths
Between the breaths
You never said you couldn't see me
Never a hint you couldn't be me
I could never say
I didn't need to say
