I've been dreaming of the things I've learnt about a boy 
Whose bleeding, celebrate to elevate 
The joy is not the same without the pain 

Ipso facto 
Using up your oxygen, you know I'm shallow 
Calling out for extra help 
You've got to let me in or let me out 

0h something to talk about 
Yeah something to talk about 

I've been dreaming of the things I've learnt about a boy 
Whose leaving, nothing else to chance again 
You've got to let me in or let me out 

Oh something to talk about 
Yeah something to talk about
