lyrics

cool music serenade me
cover me in glory
I’m so small and far away
too far away to care
to be cool, cool, cool as air

eyes look up
and eyes look down
skin searching for heat
I know the shape of these words
but I can’t speak

just like the fall
from a dreaming wall
a fever of the mind
the believer in all
just like the rhythm
wakes up the tune
I hear you all the time
I hear you all the time
from a distant room

blues, circumnavigate me
wrap me up in stories
l’m just a moon
so far away
too far away to care

just like the fall
of a stalling plane
a fever of the mind
the maker of rain
just like the rhythm
calls for a tune
I hear you all the time
I hear you all the time
saying ‘come back soon’

(Instrumental)

eyes look up
and eyes look down
skin searching for light
I know the names of these creatures
but I can’t fight

just like the fall
of a chandelier
a fever of the mind
the bringer of tears
just like the rhythm
wakes up the tune
still hear you all the time
still hear you all the time
from a distant room
