you're my world Songtext
von Atlas

You were my earth

And with a smile like an ocean wave, you catapult around the Sun
To meet me at the other side to tell me that you′ve found it fun
Swimming in the UV rays, you shining like the sound of thunder
Booming through my stupid shades
You shook all of the ground undone

I slipped into your beauty like a mudslide
And on my search, I found nothing but upsides
Your arms extend like branches
And whenever we touch
I feel the bark begin to soften up at all my sappy punchlines
Maybe that's the reason


You′re my earth
You're the planet
You're the grass
The wind and tides
And now that you′re gone, I feel so out of place
And now that you′re gone, I'm just drifting through space
And now that you′re gone, I feel so out of place
And now that you're gone, I′m just drifting through space

And when we split up like Pangea
I was hoping that we could reform a landbridge
Between our separate pieces of the earth
Before our disconnect began to breed a species that would hurt much more
Than carnivores, herbivores, recklessness or urban swarm
Maybe I could wash up on a certain shore
Smiling pass a long night of drinking and the lights above the island
Watching lightning flash every time you open up your eyelids
Gentle smirks exploding like a fire in the sky

Until you scared away the forest creatures sleeping in the trees
They began to huddle next to me, weeping in the leaves
See I watched you change the temperature
Increasing the degrees until the warmth was just enough
To let them nestle into peace
I never thought there'd be a problem that we couldn′t solve
When you control the weather's climate and the sea levels and all
But I suppose that when an earthquake splits the crust above the faults
I shouldn't act as if the damage wouldn′t break up those involved


You were my earth
You were the planet
You were the grass
The wind and tides
And now that you′re gone, I feel so out of place
And now that you're gone, I′m just drifting through space
And now that you're gone, I feel so out of place
And now that you′re gone, I'm just drifting through space
