She prays far over the big sky
'Cause she needs something to believe in
Scared she'll fade faster than lightning
That casts her horizons in a bright spin
I wait underneath a goodbye
'Cause I feel the end before we begin
There she goes, faster than lightning
She says "faster than you can catch me"
She tells stories without gridlines
Of great clouds far over the concrete
The sidewalks and city streets and dark eyes
On the way to the water's edge where we meet
We drank the wine, she just laughs
"Did you think this bottle could keep me?
'Cause I'll fade faster than the lightning"
She says "faster than you can catch me"
Faster than you
Faster than you can
Faster than you can catch me
She is an instinct
She's without warning
Just a flash in my mind's eye
And neither reflection
Of some rainy morning
Will last forever in your sky
Reach out, be constant
When the ground keeps turning
When my head's stormy all the time
And either direction
A step towards nothing
Gone before I can ask why
She prays far over the big sky
'Cause she needs something to believe in
Scared she'll fade faster than lightning
That casts her horizons in a bright spin
I wait underneath a goodbye
'Cause I see the end before we begin
There she goes (there she goes)
She says "faster than you can catch"
(You can catch me)
Me
(You can catch me)
(You can catch me)
(You can catch me)
(You can catch me)
(You can catch me)
