Lyrics

[00:23.55] All the words had all been spoken
[00:28.39] And somehow the feeling still wasn't right
[00:35.77] And still we continued on through the night
[00:46.87] Tracing our steps from the beginning
[00:50.95] Until they vanished into the air
[00:58.06] Trying to understand how our lives had led us there
[01:09.84] Looking hard into your eyes
[01:14.12] There was nobody I'd ever known
[01:18.28] Such an empty surprise to feel so alone
[01:30.57] Now for me some words come easy
[01:35.33] But I know that they don't mean that much
[01:42.26] Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
[01:52.94] You never knew what I loved in you
[01:57.71] I don't know what you loved in me
[02:04.40] Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping
[02:08.64] I might be
[02:15.42] Awake again
[02:17.21] I can't pretend
[02:22.45] And I know I'm alone
[02:23.95] And close to the end of the feeling we've known
[02:37.75] How long've I been sleeping?
[02:43.11] And how long've I been drifting alone through the night?
[02:49.29] How long'veI been dreaming
[02:52.26] I could make it right?
[02:56.00] If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might
[03:01.86] To be the one you need
[03:51.79] Awake again
[03:54.40] I can't pretend
[03:58.66] And I know I'm alone
[04:01.38] And close to the end of the feeling we've known
[04:14.83] How long've I been sleeping?
[04:20.49] How long've I been drifting alone through the night?
[04:26.25] How long've I been running for that morning flight?
[04:32.78] Through the whispered promises and the changing light
[04:37.97] Of the bed where we both lie late for the sky
