Lyrics

Car stopped in a clearing
Ribbon of life, it was nearing
I saw the boy break out of his skin
My heart turned over and I crawled in
He cried, "break it up, oh I don't understand
Break it up, I can't comprehend
Break it up, oh, I want to feel you
Break it up, don't talk to me that way
I'm not listening."
Snow started falling
I could hear the angel calling
We rolled on the ground, he stretched out his wings
The boy flew away and he started to sing
He sang, "break it up, oh, I don't understand
Break it up, I can't comprehend
Break it up, oh, I want to feel you
Break it up, don't look at me."

The sky was raging, the boy disappeared
I fell on my knee
Atmosphere broke up, the boy reappeared
I cried, "take me please!"

Ice, it was shining
I could feel my heart, it was melting
I tore off my clothes, I danced on my shoes
I ripped my skin open and then I broke through
I cried, "break it up, oh, now I understand
Break it up, and I want to go
Break it up, oh please take me with you
Break it up, I can feel it breaking
I can feel it breaking, I can feel it breaking
I can feel, I can feel, I can feel, I can feel."

So break it up, oh now I'm coming with you
Break it up, now I'm gonna go
Break it up, oh, feel me, I'm coming
Break it up, break it up, break it up
Break it up, break it up, break it up
Oh, break it up, break it up, break it up
Break it up, break it up, break it on up
Break it up, break it on up, up, up
Break it, break it, break it, break it
Break it on up, break it up
Break it up, break it up, break it up ..
