Lyrics[]
[Verse 1: Model Child]
See a million faces
Hiding down below
Awful lot of strangers
Only one I'm lookin' for
It's lonely in this cabin
God, I wanna know
Are you with somebody else
Who'd never let you go?
[Pre-Chorus: Model Child]
I want another life in
A brand new galaxy where
There ain't no sense of time and
There ain't no gravity
[Chorus: Model Child]
If I left the world
Would anybody miss me while I
Look down on this city thinkin'
Should have loved you more
And maybe you'd be with me, darling
If I hadn't gone and left the world
[Post-Chorus: Model Child]
If I, if I, if I, if I
If I hadn't gone and left the world
If I, if I, if I, if I
If I hadn't gone and left the world
[Verse 2: MARINA]
Been a lot of places
And none of them were home
Always told myself that I'd be
Better off alone
Float up from my body
Been longing for the moon
Look her in the eye and tell her
I'ma see you soon
[Pre-Chorus: MARINA]
I want another life in
A brand new galaxy where
There ain't no sense of time and
There ain't no gravity
[Chorus: MARINA & Model Child]
If I left the world
Would anybody miss me while I
Look down on this city thinkin'
Should have loved you more
And maybe you'd be with me, darling
If I hadn't gone and left the world
[Post-Chorus: MARINA & Model Child]
If I, if I, if I, if I
If I hadn't gone and left the world
If I, if I, if I, if I
If I hadn't gone and left the world
[Chorus: MARINA & Model Child]
If I left the world
Would anybody miss me while I
Look down on this city thinkin'
Should have loved you more
And maybe you'd be with me, darling
If I hadn't gone and left the world
[Verse 1: Model Child]
Been a lot of places
And none of them were home
Always told myself that I'd be
Better off alone
I'm dusting off my space boots
Been longing for the moon
Look her in the eye and tell her
I'ma see you soon
[Pre-Chorus: Model Child]
I want another life in
A brand new galaxy where
There ain't no sense of time and
There ain't no gravity
[Chorus: Model Child]
If I left the world
Would anybody miss me while I
Look down on this city thinkin'
Should have loved you more
And maybe you'd be with me, darling
If I hadn't gone and left the world
[Post-Chorus: Model Child]
If I, if I, if I, if I
If I hadn't gone and left the world
If I, if I, if I, if I
If I hadn't gone and left the world
[Verse 2: MARINA]
See a million faces
Hiding down below
Awful lot of strangers
Only one I'm lookin' for
It's lonely on this planet
And God, I wanna know
Are you with somebody else
Who'd never let you go?
[Pre-Chorus: MARINA]
I want another life in
A brand new galaxy where
There ain't no sense of time and
There ain't no gravity
[Chorus: MARINA & Model Child]
If I left the world
Would anybody miss me while I
Look down on this city thinkin'
Should have loved you more
And maybe you'd be with me, darling
If I hadn't gone and left the world
[Post-Chorus: MARINA & Model Child]
If I, if I, if I, if I
If I hadn't gone and left the world
If I, if I, if I, if I
If I hadn't gone and left the world
[Chorus: MARINA & Model Child]
If I left the world
Would anybody miss me while I
Look down on this city thinkin'
Should have loved you more
And maybe you'd be with me, darling
If I hadn't gone and left the world
