I’m trying to rack my brains
figuring out where we’ve met before
were we standing in the falling rain
or walking hand in hand on the ocean floor
whenever that first time was
we both became one an infinite buzz
and took in that brilliant light
dissolving us together
lost in sight
Well I feel so alive when
I try to remember what I tend to ignore
cause love leaves the lights on
in the room with the hidden doors
I pull in some deep deep breaths
now I’m one with the trees
I’ve lost the rest
I’m happy as a dying star
holding you close
holding you far
the wind’s become you and me
carrying birds
down invisible streams
flying through our open hearts
love never stops
and love never starts
Well I feel so alive when
I try to remember what I tend to ignore
cause love leaves the lights on
in the room with the hidden doors
we're in the light
we're in the dream
it's a joy ride in this love machine
every day is like new years eve
time to get born
time to retrieve
whatever makes you sing
songs that capture everything
we spend most all of our days
searching for love
hoping for praise
but all of this is just inside
so open the door
open it wide
Well I feel so alive when
I try to remember what I tend to ignore
cause love leaves the lights on
in the rooms with the hidden doors
