lyrics

yesterday wasn’t like the other daydreams
all that stuff began at sunset
a weird vision stopped me from sleeping
I felt forced to stay awake
I would have wished it wasn’t me

time flies
like a wild tide
time still flies
the obvious is that I can’t flee

this reality is quite different for me
my entire body just take after me
but my own faults are faded curiously
and too many reasons to believe I’m not me
Gosh! am I my real and perfect replica?
neither optimistic nor solipsistic
who I am? where’s my other me?

need my mind on something else
get that idea out of my head
let’s get out and breathe

breathe

looks so radiant from where I stand
i’m on the outside, quiet and still
I don’t wait for an improbable change

hey babe, why don’t you join me to look at it?
isn’t it the most soothing thing we might see?

how couldn’t we settle for gazing at it?
the same old face, crystal-clear
spinning around us eternally / twirling around us eternally?

better than the wider flat screen-tv
the real mind-blowing sharpness and depth
this is not on earth, not under your feet
this is higher and higher and higher

can’t help thinking about tomorrow
come on honey, come with me
let’s get out and breathe
