Lyrics

If you don't remember me

If you don't notice me

I'm laying down on the ground

You step around and make no sound

Empty sky

Fading light

Heaven knows you must be sent

The way the moon compliments

Your lazy eye, falling sigh

The universe it can't deny

Guiding star, beating heart

I believe you'll never know it

The whole world turns when you show it

It's true, the secret you

I believe when the story is told

It'll all come out

But you never know

It's you, the secret you

If you find a melody

A string of words that can't be seen

They bring you down, tear you down

Drifting thru the lost and found

Disappear into thin air

I believe you'll never know it

The whole world turns when you show it

It's true, the secret you

I believe when the story is told

It'll all come out

But you never know

It's you, the secret you

I'm laying down on the ground

I lift my head, there's nothing left

Terrified I recognize

The whole world seems to come alive

Your open smile, stay a while
