lyrics

Ohhh
Uhh ohh ohhh

I tend to keep you from my heart
treading deep in the dark
don’t let your arms go slow
You try to learn and know my arts
my lost and longing drifted thoughts
don’t let your bones grow cold
You spoil my meals, stir up my fears
drinking in my own doubts

Ahh ohhh ahh ohhh ahh ohhh

Recall the time I made you start?
Swiftly touched the moving spot
just let your body float
The evening lights will make us soft
no other way to hold this off
your breath will lift you home
I enjoy your cries, spit out my lies
serving up excessive sounds

Ahh ohhh ahh ohhh ahh ohhh

It’s work to know your own mind
Please bring me out my mind
Just lean and pass the rope(ohh)
And get away from your own kind
the others left, we’re mighty fine
your breath will lift you home (tread tread tread)
Life can be wild, and sure to shine
Planting from this very ground

Ahh ohhh ahh ohhh ahh ohhh

Tread, just let your body float
Tread, don’t let your bones grow cold
Tread, your breath will lift you home
Tread, Don’t let your arms go slow

ahhhhhh
ahhhhhh(Don’t let your arms go slow)
ahhhhhh

Your breath will lift you home
