Stay where you are, eastward from here.
I will find you, even if it takes years.
I can see you 'til I open my eyes;
There was a time when we stood side by side...

And all the stars aligned when you stepped outside
And I could see for miles into the past.
Who knows which stars still shine?
All we have are signs they've left us, their protests against the night.

In a garden, at the edge of the town,
Ancient trees know the secrets around.
In your image, the likeness of light;
Anaximander had something right.

And all the holes aligned on the firmament's divide
And I could catch a glimpse into the fire,
To see the other side...
Holes to Heaven guide us through the night;
I'm focused on your eyes.

And all the stars aligned as you stepped outside
And I could see for miles into the past.
Who knows which stars still shine?
All we have are signs they've left us, their protests against the night.

Amidst all these stars, I see what you are...

In a minute, I'll be there;
I'll make it worth the wait.
So rest your head and mind,
Sleep and forget time,
Say you're always mine and I'll be there.

You know, you're gorgeous in this light...
And the reflections in your eyes
Summon me to life
To celebrate your smile,
To witness the beauty of your embrace...

If I could paint all these unknown voices calling out your name,
You might be repaid.

When tomorrow comes our way
And everything's the same,
Know that you inspire,
Know that I admire,
Know that there's a fire burning bright.

If I could paint all these unknown voices calling out your name,
I'd create a hundred canvases, none of them the same.
If I had the strength to alleviate all of your pain,
You might be repaid.

Can you see the way you move me?
I wonder if you see right through me...
Do you notice when my eyes are alight?

Fly me up above the mountains,
Bring me down under the ocean;
Lead me to a place where I can belong.

You could be the one to save me.
Maybe you could recreate me.
You're the one that has the power to inspire...

You can see everything I want to see...

I need to begin.
Show me the way to come in,
To live, love and realize
What I am in your eyes.

One moment you are here;
Another, you've disappeared.
I reach out and try to find
Stability outside the line.

Breathe you out and breathe you in again;
I can't find a way to keep you in.

Hold me in your embrace.
Will I ever feel this again?
I'm whole, and I belong,
But for how long?

So reach outside and say to me
Whatever makes you feel free.
The danger doesn't bother me;
I approach the limit with ease!

I am in excess!
I calculate the limit,
so I can brace for it.
Tell me I am wrong.
Will I ever know?
I am in excess...

I am in excess.
I'm staring down the limit,
So I can challenge it.

I am in excess.
I'm reaching for the limit...

You could search for a while and be let down.
Or you could stumble upon the right thing first time 'round.
I know what I've found

Just one look in your eyes
And I can make it through the night.
Just one look at your smile
And I believe I've seen the light.
Reaching up for the sky
I know that everything is right.
I could love you for miles,
I could love you all my life.

There are lessons in life I've not learned,
But I know that the bond between us is something sure.
I know what I've found.

What if it happened another way?
I was standing beside you everyday,
But I've only discovered, in a way,
What it means to have confidence in fate.

I didn't even know your name,
Your smile, your embrace,
And I've only discovered, in a way,
How much I wish that you would stay.

Why do you shy away?
I will wait for you while I'm awake.
Why do you hesitate?
I will wait for you to call my name.

I want to know you in every way.
But I want you to feel the same.
And I've only discovered, in a way,
When it's best to give up and walk away...

What if it happened another way?
I was standing beside you everyday,
But I've only discovered, in a way,
What it means to be searching and be saved...

Life goes by too fast.
I wish I could live in a photograph,
Then I could journey back with the album on the shelf.

You always dressed in style;
I can see it, even in black and white.
You always wore a smile and held a cigarette.

If we didn't love you, we'd never let you go
You taught us that struggle is the only way to grow.
No matter the challenge you'd always overcome.

Everyone wants to be free.
I wish I could live in a melody,
Then I could find my wings in a tune that you once loved.

Wherever you've left us to be,
The music remains in our memories.
You taught us all to sing and we'll sing it out for you...
