I've been dreaming of the things I've learnt about a boy Whose bleeding, celebrate to elevate The joy is not the same without the pain Ipso facto Using up your oxygen, you know I'm shallow Calling out for extra help You've got to let me in or let me out 0h something to talk about Yeah something to talk about I've been dreaming of the things I've learnt about a boy Whose leaving, nothing else to chance again You've got to let me in or let me out Oh something to talk about Yeah something to talk about
