The Temper Trap - Giving Up Air Lyrics

The Temper Trap Lyrics

"Giving Up Air"

Disarm
Disarm
My heart
Disarm
Lay it down
All of the visions
Of you are fading
Where have they gone?
And this house
Feels like it's sinking

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Feels like it's sinking
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
And it's hard to breathe in

Giving up air, layin' it bare
Hoping my dreams will reappear
When everything I know is hanging on a prayer
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Giving up air, layin' it bare
Hoping my dreams will reappear
When everything I know is hanging on a prayer
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Disarm
No use resisting
Disarm
Break it down
Holding on tight
Choking the life out
Till nothing was left
And this house
Is surely sinking

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Feels like it's sinking
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
And it's hard to breathe in

Giving up air, layin' it bare
Hoping my dreams will reappear
When everything I know is hanging on a prayer
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Giving up air, layin' it bare
Hoping my dreams will reappear
When everything I know is hanging on a prayer
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

It's like giving up air
Giving up air, giving up air, giving up air, giving up air

It's like giving up air
Giving up air, giving up air, giving up air, giving up air

It's like giving up air
Giving up air, giving up air, giving up air, giving up air

When everything I know is hanging on a prayer
