lyrics

She takes me inside
She offers her hand
She whispers to me
But I can't understand
How my love could leave me stranded as I am

She takes off her clothes
She lets down her hair
She asks me to dance
And I say it's not fair
That my love could leave me stranded as I am

Such a pretty life we lead
So many sleepless nights
I'm gone
In the end, we're only friends
Alone to roam the plane so long
Stranded in the wasteland

She goes to the bed
Tells me to come along
I follow her lead
But something feels wrong
My body is here, but my mind is far away

She moans in the night
Throws her hips to the moon
My mind is afloat
Like a hot air balloon
I'm lookin' down from the ceiling and I haven't a word to say

Such a pretty life we lead
So many sleepless nights
I'm gone
In the end, we're only friends
Alone to roam the plane so long
Stranded in the wasteland

It's all in the air we breathe
I'm trapped and I can't break free

She covers her skin
With a thin silk dress
She wipes away tears
Pulls her hair back and says
How could my love leave me stranded as I am?

I search for the words
Look for a reprieve
I walk out the door
And I still can't believe
That my love could leave me stranded as I am

It's all in the air we breathe
I'm trapped and I can't break free
