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 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 wounds 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

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
