So you fly by me with the blink of an eye
It's devastating I can't read the signs
Day after day I'm watching miracles fade
And when I get them it's most likely too late
I can see faces, and pictures and spaces
I can hear voices but not what they say
So you fly by, it's just a taste that you leave
Life has a secret you'd like to keep
On and on and on we float
Happy as we'll ever be
Drifting through our misery
On and on and on it goes
Until we're old or dead and gone
No one's gonna look beyond
Light as a promise written into the wind
Loose as the silence crawling under my skin
It's the hollowest holes you're digging, so unforeseen
Don't make me hold onto what I can't keep
And I try to relate to whatever you made of love and rejection
All the pain that you cause
So you fly by as if I didn't know
Life has a sweetness you claim you're on
On and on and on we float
Happy as we'll ever be
Drifting through our misery
On and on and on it goes
Until we're old or dead and gone
No one is gonna look beyond
Wherever you take me you will change me
I'm a sand grain on your shore
Wherever I'm going you will find me
I'm a sunbeam in your dawn
Wherever you take me you will change me
I'm a sand grain on your shore
Wherever I'm going you will find me
I'm a sunbeam in your dawn
Light as a promise written into the wind
Loose as the silence crawling under my skin
So you fly by as if I didn't know, life has a sweetness...
