And meanwhile a man was falling from space

And every day I want your face

A G

Like an atmosphere around me

The satellite beside me

And meanwhile a man was falling from space

As he hit the earth I left this place

A G

Let the atmosphere surround me

The satellite beside me

[Pre-Chorus]

What are we gonna do?

Like an atmosphere around me

I'm happy you're beside me

If this one wasn't enough
