Cold Air
Natalie Imbruglia · Other Songs - Natalie Imbruglia
Can I hear a cry for a dead man to crawl
Asleep like stones in the well
Empty as you leave your dry seashell
Never seen you come this far
Never thought I'd hope this hard
(Like air)
Always looking down upon yourself
(Like air)
You live two feet above yourself
(Somewhere)
We will always be in parallel
(Out there)
It's a place without a hope in hell
(Like air)
Haven't made a sound all week
Tryin' to gather up some promises to keep
I watched as the icicles fell
Pinned to the bottom or drowning, it's hard to tell
You may be human after all
(I've never seen you come far)
Must you build yourself so tall
(Like air)
Always looking down upon yourself
(Like air)
You live two feet above yourself
(Somewhere)
We will always be in parallel
(Out there)
It?s a place without a hope in hell
(Like air)
Tryin' to wash your trace off my skin
Cover up the footprints I've been walking in
It's easier to cut you cold
You can keep your waste of space, I'm halfway home
You may be human after all
(I've never seen you come far)
Must you build yourself so tall
(Like air)
Always looking down upon yourself
(Like air)
You live two feet above yourself
(Somewhere)
We will always be in parallel
(Out there)
It's a place without a hope in hell
(Like air)

Cold Air
Cold Air stands as a notable song in Natalie Imbruglia's discography, showcasing the Australian singer-songwriter's signature blend of pop and alternative rock. Following the massive global success of her debut album, Left of the Middle, Imbruglia continued to refine a sound characterized by emotive vocals and introspective songwriting. This track reflects the polished production values and melodic sensibilities that defined her work during the late 1990s and early 2000s. While often overshadowed by her chart-topping singles, the song contributes to a broader catalogue that explores themes of vulnerability and personal reflection. Imbruglia's ability to craft accessible yet emotionally resonant music remains a defining feature of her career, with Cold Air serving as a testament to her enduring presence in the English-language pop landscape.
