Lyrics

[00:24.07] The words had all been spoken
[00:28.91] And somehow the feeling still wasn't right
[00:37.14] And still we continued on through the night
[00:47.61] Tracing our steps from the beginning
[00:52.25] Until they vanished into the air
[00:58.96] Trying to understand how our lives has led us there
[01:10.73] Looking hard into your eyes
[01:15.70] There was nobody i'd ever known
[01:20.09] Such an empty surprise to feel so alone
[01:33.42] Now for me some words come easy
[01:38.34] But i know that they don't mean that much
[01:46.34] Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
[01:57.09] You never knew what i loved in you
[02:02.04] I don't know what you loved in me
[02:09.08] Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping i might be
[02:20.57] Awake again i can't pretend and i know i'm alone
[02:30.04] And close to the end of the feeling we've known
[02:35.73] How long have i been sleeping
[02:50.14] How long have i been drifting alone through the night
[02:56.32] How long have i been dreaming i could make it right
[03:03.41] If i closed my eyes and tried with all my might
[03:08.55] To be the one you need
[04:00.71] Awake again i can't pretend and i know i'm alone
[04:10.18] And close to the end of the feeling we've known
[04:25.13] How long have i been sleeping
[04:29.82] How long have i been drifting alone through the night
[04:35.94] How long have i been running for that morning flight
[04:42.95] Through the whispered promises and the changing light
[04:48.60] Of the bed where we both lie
[04:53.16] Late for the sky
