I can't remember the time or place
Or what you were wearing
It's unclear about how we met
All I know is it was the best conversation that I've ever had
To this day I've never found someone
With eyes as wide as yours
I've been searching up and down this coast
Overlooking what I need the most
Did you notice I was afraid?
I thought I'd run out of things to say
Two more hours until today
Burns this away
And it starts all over again
CHORUS:
The sky will never look the same again
Til you show me how it could be
The sky will never look the same again
Til you show me how it could be
And everything is irrelevant
To the story so far
A coincidence that you looked like her from afar
Is it true that you like to sleep alone?
Or is it what you just tell everyone?
Did you notice I was afraid?
I thought I'd run out of things to say
Two more hours until today
Burns this away
And it starts all over again
CHORUS
(Ahhhh, ahhh...)
Until you show me how it could be
(Ahhhh, ahhh...)
Until you show me how it could be
And when the world turns over
I'll keep my ears to the wall
And when the world turns over
I'll keep my feet straight on the ground
Did you notice I was afraid?
I thought I'd run out of things to say
Two more hours until today
Burns this away
And it starts all over again
CHORUS
(Ahhhh, ahhh...)
Until you show me how it could be
(Ahhhh, ahhh...)
Until you show me how it could beMay you find solace in the gentle arms of sleep
Despite the wolves outside your door
In time you will see them all as harmless
And their idle threats easy to ignore
And if ever fate should choose to smite you
Stand your ground, never walk away
Please don't ever let the world defeat you
Don't get buried in its decay
As you drift into the gauzy realm of dreams
May you take comfort in the thought that you are safe
For it only takes a fraction of a second
For all of this to change
CHORUS
Return to me
When slumber's fog has lifted
Return to me
Stronger than before
As you sink beneath the soothing streams of time
May you be thankful that you had another day
For there comes a time when each of us will enter
A sleep from which we will never wake
And if ever fate should choose to smite you
Stand your ground, never walk away
Please don't ever let the world defeat you
Don't get buried in its decay
Close your eyes now, if only for a moment
For it's time you get some rest
The wolves are gone and nothing here can harm you
Let go of your fragile consciousness
