I look outside and I see you...
driving up the path.
I rush outside so i can meet you...
isn't it a shame, it's so sad...yeah.

This isn't even real,
it's all just a dream.
It's like an affliction
raining down on me.

But what can I say?
I can't even tell the story without falling down...

Falling...falling...falling, down on my knees.
Falling...falling...tripping over my own words as I sing.

But I think this time,
I might have realized
something I never have before in my whole life:

That in dreams, you expect what you "want"
but the gift isn't what it "seems."

And it isn't even real,
it's still just a dream,
a lovely affliction
carried out by me.

What else can I say?
I failed to tell the story,
without getting off point...

Falling...falling...falling, down on my knees.
Falling...falling...tripping over my own words as I speak.

God's grace, give faith, love life...intake.
God's grace, give faith, love life...intake.

Why can't you see?
Why can't you see me?
What do you see? What do you see when you peer past me?

Your smoky hands from your ethereal land,
they rise from the sea and reach out to me...she has...
smoky hands from some ethereal land,
the mist on the sea, it called out to me and said:

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...

Broken man with some broken plans...
who else could it be, if not only me?
I'm a broken man with a selfish plan and it
calls out to me and carries me away...

And I'm counting stars and I'm hoping hard
that you...will...find...me...but it's
all I got, to sit here day after day...in isolation.

Why can't you see?
Why can't you see me?
What do you see? What do you see when you peer past me?

But I need your smoky hands and your ethereal land
to rise from the sea, and reach unto me with your
smoky hands from some ethereal land,
the mist on the sea, isolates me and begs:

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la...

Broken man filled with broken plans,
who else could this be, if not only me?
I'm a broken man with a selfish plan
and it calls out to me and carries me away...

As I laid awake last night
I thought I saw you creeping up...
inside my mind.

I asked myself what might you be here
for my friend?
Have you come to take my life?

And you said...

Hold on...hold out.
The darkest sun has yet become.
I will envelope your love
and we will shine.

Ever-after always fails
but people still tell fairy tales
and you and I will always hail
from that dark sky, and on...

As I lay awake at night
I hope to see you creeping up...
into my life.

I ask myself how might I call you
here my friend?
It's enough to warp my mind.

And you said:

Hold on...hold out.
The darkest sun has yet become.
I will envelope your love
and we will shine.

Ever-after always fails
but people still tell fairy tales
and you and I will always hail
from that dark sky, and on...

Come pale waters,
come blue sky.
Come with laughter,
come with life.
When the sun shines in this night,
I will be there waiting.

Come upon me as you are.
Come down laughing,
come down hard,
and let your hair surround and blind
out this shady dream around me.

Come pale waters,
come black night.
When the season brings in life.
When my sun shown in the sky,
it burned my eyes and took my sight.

You came upon me,
you came down hard.
You touched my soul and laid my heart
to rest in an uneasy place,
and now...I'm...never going back there!

Pull down, this twisted guise around me!
Pour  out, the immortal soul inside me!
Pull out, and come out with me!

Pull down, this twisted guise around me!
Pour  out, the immortal soul inside me!
Pull out, and come out with me!

Come pale waters,
come blue sky.
Come with laughter,
come with life.
When the sun shines in this night,
I will be there waiting.
