Lyrics
Verse 1 – soft, distant
This is him falling
into the same webs
A man still walking
still on his legs
Getting caught up, / slipping slow
Lost in the void
Getting caught up
Away from the noise…
Chorus – restrained lift
Shouldn't, shouldn't…
Shouldn't want this
It burns so much / but she's atomic
He had no plans
And left no choice
It burns so much / but she's atomic
So… atomic
Verse 2 – closer, warmer
She reaches inside
and feels his face
All the bad dreams
she tries to erase
Wanders the halls, / taking it in
Takes in the views
Tears down the walls
Feeling confused…
Chorus – more pressure
Shouldn't, shouldn't…
Shouldn't want this
It burns so much / but she's atomic
He had no plans
And left no choice
It burns so much / but she's atomic
So… atomic
Bridge – floating, soft
Whoa-oh-oh-oh…
If only we'd met
Whoa-oh-oh-oh…
It'd all be different
Final Chorus – full but unresolved
Shouldn't, shouldn't…
Shouldn't want this
It burns so much / but she's atomic
He had no plans
And left no choice
It burns so much / but she's atomic
So… atomic
Oh atomic
atomic
