The New Amsterdams Lyrics
"Strangled By The Thought"

I'm weak from lack of oxygen
Strangled by the thought
Promise you'll remember when I'm gone
Sleep is mostly optional
trace lines around my heart
steal the only breathe from my lungs

but if I had your strength
I'd be fearless
so until that day
but until that day I'm envious

the miles and miles the distances
like meters on a map
trace lines that only translate to the day
but if you're awake
tell me it's safe
and if you ask me to stay
then I'll stay

don't leave me here
when I'm bleeding
when I'm fading
when I'm true

and it's tempting
to stop everything
when I'm pouring out to you

so take everything
take it all from me
all I want,
all I want is you.
