[Verse 1]
Maybe it's the last time that I'll see ya
Puttin' too much salt on the story
It's not lovin' if you fake it
There's a limit to your mood
[Pre-Chorus]
A warning light (Warning light)
A warning light (Warning light)
A warning light (Warning light)
A warning light (Like a child)
A warning light (Warning light)
A warning light (Warning light)
A warning light (Warning light)
A warning light (Like a child)
[Chorus]
Don't watch us when we leave
Won't let you see us
[Verse 2]
Stretching out the leather on your wallet
That my lungs are filling up
Long live the asbestos on the rental
Yeah, it looks alright to me
[Pre-Chorus]
A warning light (Warning light)
A warning light (Warning light)
A warning light (Warning light)
A warning light (Like a child)
A warning light (Warning light)
A warning light (Warning light)
A warning light (Warning light)
A warning light (Like a child)
[Chorus]
Don't watch us when we leave
Won't let you see us bleed
Don't
Won't
[Bridge]
And we put up with your shit to keep the power on
Take of your hits like you're number one
And I see the way you look at my dad and mum
What more from life could you people want?
Dig your heels right in my teeth while you wait
For the suits to send me on my way
Big man, proud with your new stripe
I'll be a child, rest of my life
[Chorus]
History again, teach me like a friend
What you know and why
I could not refuse
Your place, your house, your rules
[Outro]
A warning light (Warning light)
A warning light (Warning light)
A warning light (Warning light)
A warning light (Like a child)
A warning light (Warning light)
A warning light (Warning light)
A warning light (Warning light)
A warning light (Like a child)

During a May 10, 2022 interview with triple j, Stella talked about “Lungs” and the new musical direction she was leaning into:
I’d never gone into this kind of genre before – I don’t even know what genre is! But I’d never written something that was a forward-leaning attempt at a banger. I’ve tried...
I’d written the rest of the record, and I felt like I hadn’t been looking forward while writing these songs. I’d been doing a lot of looking back, and I hadn’t actually pictured myself performing the songs because there was no one performing any songs on any stage in the world at the time. I was lik...
