About the Artist
Lyrics
[Intro] This is the second song from 'hours...' and this one's called "Something in the Air"; first time we've ever done this one ever, ever [Verse 1] Your coat and hat are gone I really can't look at your little empty shelf Tagged teddy bear It feels like we never had a chance Don't look me in the eye We lay in each others arms But the room is just an empty space I guess we lived it out, there's something in the air We smiled too fast then can't think of a thing to say [Pre-Chorus] Lived with the best times Now we're left with the worst I've danced with you too long And there's nothing left to say Let's take what we can I know you hold your head up high We've raced for the last time A place of no return [Chorus] But there's something in the air Something in my eye I've danced with you too long, yeah Something I have to say There's something in the air [Verse 2] Abracadoo, I lose you We can't avoid the clash, the big mistake Now we're going to pay and pay The sentence of our lives Can't believe I'm asking you to go We used what we could to get the things we want, oh I guess we lost each other on the way I guess you know I never wanted anyone else than you [Pre-Chorus] Lived all our best times Now we're left with the worst I've danced with you too long You can say what you will, yeah Say what you will We raced for the last time Well I know you hold your head up high But there's nothing in our eyes [Chorus] But there's something in the air There's something in my eye I've danced with you too long Wasn't there something I have to say But there's something in my eye There's something in the air I've danced with you too long And there's something in the air [Outro] Thank you
