Watching my window i was led like a child
as the roadway lamplights
misguided my mind through the night
a shadow of limits
we were racing the rain
my hands held the wheel
my eyes tried to hold their place
There must have been a time
when i thought that you were watching
it had to be when my senses lost control
i thought i'd slipped away
i thought i could still feel us moving
it must have been a cloud
no bigger than a man's hand
Every reason i risk my life
to come back to you
is locked behind your door
you're my immunity
outside i watched you burn
heavy hearts were bleeding
a cry for help, a familiar voice
my melting hands streaked the glass
As i walked away
i wondered what had really happened
had i run out of time
did i push myself too far
as my last step fell
i felt my hands upon the wheel
had i come back to life
or did i ever leave at all
in higher lives
we seem to be
always a moment too late
we're past the time
when we looked on
now we're
the one who helped to set the sun.
this time for real
i locked the door behind me
my mind was still a wreck
from what i saw
for when my hands are still
i'll recognize the message
never again will my senses lose control
in higher lives
we seem to be
always a moment too late
we're past the time
when we looked on
now we're
the one who helped to set the sun.
