Watching my window, I was led like a child As the roadway lamplights misguided my mind through the night A shadow of limits we were racing the rain My hands held the wheel, my eyes tried to hold their place There must have been a time when I thought that you were watching It had to be when my senses lost control I thought I'd slipped away, I thought I could still feel us moving It must have been a cloud no bigger than a man's hand Every reason I risk my life to come back to you Is locked behind your door, you're my immunity Outside I watched you burn, heavy hearts were bleeding A cry for help, a familiar voice, my melting hands streaked the gla** As I walked away, I wondered what had really happened Had I run out of time? Did I push myself too far? As my last step fell, I felt my hands upon the wheel Had I come back to life or did I ever leave at all? In higher lives we seem to be always a moment too late We're past the time when we looked on Now, we're the ones who help to set the sun This time for real, I locked the door behind me My mind was still a wreck from what I saw For when my hands are still, I'll recognize the message Never again will my senses lose control In higher lives we seem to be always a moment too late We're past the time when we looked on Now, we're the ones who help to set the sun
