[Verse 1]
At night when I’m sleeping
I feel you breathing
It’s subconscious
Subconscious
Only ever half home, I’m
Only ever half alone
With my subconscious
Subconscious

[Chorus]
It takes so much time to find a line

Now I’m higher than I’ve ever been
Fire’s taking oxygen
Words are tired and tense
Words don’t make sense
Words are feathered and light
Words won’t make it
Right

[Verse 2]
I’m walking down the street
Humming this melody on repeat
It’s subconscious
Subconscious
I find you in a café
We proceed to only half-say
So self-conscious
So self-conscious

[Chorus]
It takes so much time to feel alive
Now I’m higher than I’ve ever been
Fire’s taking oxygen
Words are tired and tense
Words don’t make sense
Words are feathered and light

Words won’t make it
Right

[Chorus]
Takes so much time to feel alive
Now I’m higher than I’ve ever been
Fire’s taking oxygen
Words are tired and tense
Words don’t make sense
Words are feathered in light
Words won’t make it, make it, make it

[Outro]
Takes so much time to feel alive
Takes so much time to feel alive
Takes so much time to feel alive
Takes so much time to feel alive
