Transmission, beaming out from the sun
Collision, no use in running from
My senses picking up the pulse
The silence said a mouthful intuition
Didn’t know what I was waiting for
Can’t go very far, I’m gonna notice where you are
I got a love for you so large, fixed to you like a star
Can’t go very far, I’m gonna notice where you are
I got a love for you so large, fixed to you like a star
Every time I think I got it figured
Something bigger always jumps in the frame
Something gets in the way
Now I’m ready to turn the page
On yesterdays and forgive them
Now I’m willing to disengage
To seize the day and move on
Wanna swing you higher
Wanna swing you higher
Vibration, coming up from the ground
Translation, something just more than sound
When I move on to the next world
I’ll wait for you over there, rotation
My head the other way around
Every time I think I got it figured
Something bigger always jumps in the frame
Something gets in the way
Now I’m ready to turn the page
On yesterdays and forgive them
Now I’m willing to disengage
To seize the day and move on
If I’m not careful I may
Slip away before I get
One last look at your face (last look at your face)
You now I’ll see you again
Somewhere in another time and space
Now I’m ready to turn the page
On yesterdays and forgive them
Now I’m willing to disengage
To seize the day and move on
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
