Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Where were you
When I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by
From my window watching?
And where were you
When I was hurt and I was helpless?
'Cause the things you say
And the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself
On someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun
[Verse 2]
Lost in thought
And lost in time
While the seeds of life
And the seeds of change were planted
Outside, the rain
Fell dark and slow
While I pondered on
This dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride
Through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived for killing the past
And coming back to life
[Verse 3]
I took a heavenly ride
Through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
Headed straight into the shining sun
