lyrics

Why, are your eyes so dry in the day
like there is no one behind them?
Why, do you stair out of your window,
like you are somewhere else?
Who, is this person walking next to me,
this empty body?
Where, is the person that I used to know,
I thought I knew?

This is what they said to me
before I ran away with you
it is funny that they noticed, at all.
but it doesn't really matter now
'cause I am you and you are me
and we are flying through the galaxy

we are the wind and we are the fire
we are earth, and we make desire
we build cities with our thoughts
and they could, too
but they didn't listen when we told them
what was happening
when dreams spilled out, like water gushing

I couldn't stop it
you couldn't stop it
we can't stop it now.

I need you to learn with me
to grow with me
to burn with me
to believe me
that these dreams have some validity
I didn't ask for this
but it is happening

and I can't stop it
he can't stop it
we can't stop it, now.
the world is unfolding
from the inside out
so I must run away with him ...
