Rippling past a blue lagoon
Arriving no place all too soon
Taking a ride along a cliff side
Glittering seas a-watching and awaiting
Looking at your suntanned face
Can't tell anything is out of place
Chasing a dream, the closer you seem, more slips away
Is he gonna make it?
Oh. My. God.
Something funny going on...
Why am I still reaching for the Moon?
Sleeping in the back of the car
Curled up tight but slowly coming apart
Slipping and sliding, skipping and hiding, tripping the beats
Misting up the windows
Looking for the Lost Domaine
Optimism in the rain
From coast to coast pursuing a ghost, under the spell
And heading for the big one
Oh. My. God.
There's something dodgy going on...
Why am I still reaching for the Moon?
Like a kitchen without a cook
Like a page that's got no book
But my tongue would not surrender
My mouth number than November
Walls of fear hit you now
No air left to breathe
And how you're pounding on stone, so far from home, you've finally arrived:
Unanticipated
Lost. And. Found.
Scrabbling gravel on the ground
Lost a last-ditch leaping for the Moon
Like a drum that's got no skin
Like a maze with no way in
But my tongue would not surrender
My mouth number than November
Lost a last ditch leaping for the Moon...
