Lyrics
sometimes it feels like the way gets lost
but I'm halfway round the corner
and I've seen what's on the other side while flying in my sleep
the daylight falls into a skyline full of tiny lights
that sparkle with the escapades and lies lit up inside
to me its obvious what's happening
but less and less it matters
cause I still believe there is grace in you and
I'm the final idiot
a gardener alarm clock hums outslde my window
just in time to blow the fallen leaves up off the sidewalks in my mind
if you remember your sleep and I can listen to dreams
I think I'm hearing the kinds of sounds that strangers sing
when all that's left is all between your latest truth and mine
to me it's obvious what's happening
but now is when it matters
cause I still believe there is grace in you
and I'm the final idiot
jump out and fall for ages
watch as you life goes by
my heroes fly in cages
hung off night life
