Berikut ini adalah lirik lagu "Oceans & Engines" by NIKI:
We're lying on my bed with five hours to go
Fingers entwined and so were our minds
Cryin', "I don't want you to go"
You wiped away your tears
But not fears under the still and clear indigo
You said, "Baby, don't cry, we'll be fine
You're the one thing I swear I can't outgrow"
Well, nothing then, much has changed
'Cause while you're wolfin' down liquor
My soul, it gets sicker
But I'm stickin' to the screenplay
Gotta say I'm okay, but answer this, babe
You were mine just yеsterday
I pray the block in my airway dissipates
And instead deters your airplane's way
But heaven denied
Destiny decried
Something beautiful died
Too soon
I'm givin' up the ghost
But don't get me wrong
I'll always love you, that's why
I wrote you this very last song
I know I'll be alright
Someday I'll be fine
But just not tonight (ooh)
Like blush wine and sonorous soirées
But even with gin and surgin' adrenaline
I see you're all that can intoxicate
You're skilled at infringin' on great love affairs
'Cause now my heart's home
All I've known is long gone and ten thousand miles away
And I'm not okay
I'm giving up the ghost
But don't get me wrong
I'll always love you, that's why
I wrote you this very last song
I know I'll be alright
But just not
Of beguiling sepia two years ago
And the first time I learned real world superpowers lived in three words
They revitalize my fraying bones, oh
Now what do you do when your pillar crumbled down
You've lost all solid ground
Both dreams and demons drowned
And this void's all you've found
And doubts light it aglow?
But I'm pouring them into the ocean
And I'm starting up my engine
I'm givin' up your ghost
It's come to a close
I marked the end with this last song I wrote
I'm letting go
This is the last falsetto
I'll ever sing to you
My great lost love
