No one comes knocking I am done talking
love lies upon the road that I'm walking
tangled up in sheer uncertainty and barbed wire
planets are spinning, countries are winning
wars that were never in the beginning
meant to be now I'm naked in the crossfire
Like a perfect stranger to the pouring rain
running from a new reality
I let it wash me over like a tidal wave
like a blind slowly begins to see
like a lion lost inside a hurricane
out of touch and positively puzzled by the world surrounding me
does it help you to notice
all of the things you are
or make you laugh and forget
you will never find the pearl inside the shell
that's down the wishing well
Living forever close and together
through all kinds of clear and cloudy weather
could be the greatest thing you will ever know
I am done crying, caught myself trying
to understand why people were dying
now I see passionate living everywhere I go
Life is full of boring technicalities
and too much for us to comprehend
little wonders make believe and tragedies
will follow us till the very end
big decisions and a subtle irony
the amount of time we have is short but surely also heaven sent
does it help you to notice
all of the things you are
or make you laugh and forget
you will never find the pearl inside the shell
that's down the wishing well
