could you explain to a simple man / why you always have to back away

when something in your eyes / is asking me to make you stay



let's say we're lost in a sudden storm / and settle down into the night

we're still a universe away / but it's alright



when we connect with a lightning look / it's frightening strong

i can almost feel us falling

love is awake and it says / we're circling far too long



get off that air of mystery / reach down into your silence

and astonish me / astonish me



get off that forlorn majesty / come down into this current

and astonish me / astonish me
