So you fly by me with the blink of an eye

It's devastating I can't read the signs

Day after day I'm watching miracles fade

And when I get them it's most likely too late

I can see faces, and pictures and spaces

I can hear voices but not what they say

So you fly by, it's just a taste that you leave

Life has a secret you'd like to keep

On and on and on we float

Happy as we'll ever be

Drifting through our misery

On and on and on it goes

Until we're old or dead and gone

No one's gonna look beyond

Light as a promise written into the wind

Loose as the silence crawling under my skin

It's the hollowest holes you're digging, so unforeseen

Don't make me hold onto what I can't keep

And I try to relate to whatever you made of love and rejection

All the pain that you cause

So you fly by as if I didn't know

Life has a sweetness you claim you're on

On and on and on we float

Happy as we'll ever be

Drifting through our misery

On and on and on it goes

Until we're old or dead and gone

No one is gonna look beyond

Wherever you take me you will change me

I'm a sand grain on your shore

Wherever I'm going you will find me

I'm a sunbeam in your dawn

Wherever you take me you will change me

I'm a sand grain on your shore

Wherever I'm going you will find me

I'm a sunbeam in your dawn

Light as a promise written into the wind

Loose as the silence crawling under my skin

So you fly by as if I didn't know, life has a sweetness...
