Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I'm blown away
Like a layer of dust on the floor of the hall where we first met
Trust was the first thing we lost that day

You asked where to stay
You would do what you must and the drawings would say more than you could
Lust for red berries, the taste of shame

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey!
How about me and you leaving?
There must be a way out of here
Look from the corner of your eye
The doorway is real

[Chorus]
Hey now, why even try?
This isn't home
There must be a way out
Listen, you have to try
The door will show before we land
Before we land
Before we land
Before we land
[Verse 2]
I just wanna play
There's a scent of regret but I don't know whose time we are stealing
Ask me and I wouldn't change a thing

Am I in the way?
I will do what I must to make sure that our treasures are hidden
Move with the currents, just one more day

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey!
How about me and you leaving?
There must be a way out of here
Look from the corner of your eye
The doorway is real

[Chorus]
Hey now, why even try?
This isn't home
There must be a way out
Listen, you have to try
The door will show before we land
Before we land
Before we land
Before we land
[Lead by Jonas and Tim]

[Bridge]
I am blown away, like a layer of dust
(Yes, but I don't know the name I've been given)
No more than dirt so do what you must

I know I must pay, I know it's a crime
(Yes, but if you come inside I'm forgiven)
But there's that urge to flee
We can fight some other time

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey!
How about me and you leaving?
There must be a way out of here
Look from the corner of your eye
The doorway is real

[Chorus]
Hey now, why even try?
This isn't home
There must be a way out
Listen, you have to try
The door will show before we land
Before we land
Before we land
Before we land
