A vapor (American spelling) or vapour (see spelling differences) is a substance in the gas phase at a temperature lower than its critical point. This means that the vapor can be condensed to a liquid or to a solid by increasing its pressure without reducing the temperature.
For example, water has a critical temperature of 374 °C (647 K), which is the highest temperature at which liquid water can exist. In the atmosphere at ordinary temperatures, therefore, gaseous water (known as water vapor) will condense to liquid if its partial pressure is increased sufficiently.
A vapor may co-exist with a liquid (or solid). When this is true, the two phases will be in equilibrium, and the gas pressure will equal the equilibrium vapor pressure of the liquid (or solid).
Vapor refers to a gas phase at a temperature where the same substance can also exist in the liquid or solid state, below the critical temperature of the substance. If the vapor is in contact with a liquid or solid phase, the two phases will be in a state of equilibrium. The term gas refers to a compressible fluid phase. Fixed gases are gases for which no liquid or solid can form at the temperature of the gas (such as air at typical ambient temperatures). A liquid or solid does not have to boil to release a vapor.
I can take you down to everywhere I go
Never want to take you down that low
Been starin' out my window
Into negative space
On the pavement from the elevator
Down the corner shop to buy the paper
Had a premonition you would be there too
No way not today
It's just more bad news
I want to be vapor
Want to rise above the year
I want to be steamy
And dry up all my tears
Cause with my head in the clouds
I'd be light upon my heels
I want to be vapor
I want to be vapor
And disappear sometimes
My heart is heavy
And I feel I'm sinking in
My sister tells me that I spread myself too thin
Feel like I'm standing in a plaster mold of me
What I have is not contagious
I see a smile on a passing stranger
Think to follow them to see where they go all day
Wanna know how it is they get that way
I want to be vapor
Want to rise above the year
I want to be steamy
And dry up all my tears
Cause with my head in the clouds
I'd be light upon my heels
I want to be vapor
I want to be vapor
And disappear sometimes
I could take you down to everywhere I go
But I never want to take you down that low
Oh no Oh no
I want to be vapor
Want to rise above the year
I want to be steamy
And dry up all my tears
Cause with my head in the clouds
I'd be light upon my heels
I want to be vapor
I want to be vapor
And the future's robbing my soul
I'm face to face with my futility
And my life is slipping away
Inhaling my mortality
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor
I'm just a blinking light
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor
And I'm about to evaporate
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor
I'm just a blinking light
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor
I'm a vapor
And I feel my skin's just a shell
Underneath is my reality
I breathe dimensions unknown
It conquers my mortality
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor
I'm just a blinking light
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor
And I'm about to evaporate
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor
I'm just a blinking light
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor
I'm a vapor
It's a mad world will it ever stop?
Will the madness end?
While my body decays my soul does not
Death is just the beginning
And the future is robbing my soul
Inhaling my mortality
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor
I'm just a blinking light
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor
And I'm about to evaporate
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor
I'm just a blinking light
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor
I'm a vapor
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor
I'm just a blinking light
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor
And I'm about to evaporate
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor
I'm just a blinking light
I'm a beep, I'm a vapor
Sitting by the bedside
Held his hand and kissed his face
Then he closed his eyes
And i watched him slip away
Seems like only yesterday
He was young as i am now
Soon I will be the past
Yeah time is turning fast
[Chorus]
I wanna live
I wanna love
Like one more day is
Never too much never enough
I wanna drink in
Everything that i can
Life is a vapor
Fire and paper
Gonna make the most of it before its gone
When i lay my head down at the end of another day
Did i keep it all to myself
Or did i give my love away
Did i hold who should have been held
So they remember just how i felt
Did i say what should be said
Will i wake with no regrets
[Chorus]
Ther was a man who walked the land centeries ago
He brought water the thirsty heart
And food to the hungry soul
He was here only thirty three years
But his life changed to world
And he gave up all he had
I wanna leave a legacy like that
[Chorus]
Life is a vapor fire and paper. [x6]
I can take you down to everywhere I go
Never want to take you down that low
Been starin' out my window
Into negative space
On the pavement from the elevator
Down the cornershop to buy the paper
Had a premonition you would be there too
No way not today
It's just more bad news
I want to be vapor
Want to rise above the year
I want to be steamy
And dry up all my tears
Cause with my head in the clouds
I'd be light upon my heels
I want to be vapor
I want to be vapor
And disappear sometimes
My heart is heavy
I feel I'm sinking in
My sister tells me that I spread myself too thin
Feel like standing in a plaster mold of me
What I have is not contagious
I see a smile on a passing stranger
Think to follow them to see where they go all day
Wanna know how it is they get that way
I want to be vapor
Want to rise above the year
I want to be steamy
And dry up all my tears
Cause with my head in the clouds

I want to be vapor
I want to be vapor
And disappear sometimes
I could take you down to everywhere I go
But I never want to take you down that low
Oh no Oh no
I want to be vapor
Want to rise above the year
I want to be steamy
And dry up all my tears
Cause with my head in the clouds
I'd be light upon my heels
I want to be vapor
I want to be vapor
And disappear sometimes
"you are so far from home"
they turn me alone, not today
in you this void just goes away
in this distant foreign land
I won't be forgotten
complicated I know life's this way
and you're half the world away
and my holds slipping from your hand
as I walk you to the gate
[Chorus]
and we're so far here, from home
we have just one night
and I'm not lying alone here
I will stay with you until tomorrow comes
and I know, what you know,
you won't be forgotten
I kept you a secret I don't know why
I guess its easier to live a lie
its no ones fault, well wait again
the sky turns black and starts to rain
you know I want you
you know I need you to be near
you know I'll fight for
you know I'll cross this,
ocean just to be with you
we'll live our lives
