if time is earthbound
do you blink and we're all around
or do you think we'll come around
and keep on waiting in the woods
creeping out further
on the outskirts of heaven
what is the secret
you're whispered to keep you on high
or do they tell you another lie
you keep on waiting after dark
(keep on waiting in the dark?)
creeping out further
on the outskirts of the stars
and i believe you're out there
beyond the skyline of heaven
cause when i look up at the sky
nothing new there catches my eye
are you wandering for more,
in your creative mind
are you looking for more,
not satisfied
are you looking for what
you were told you would find
waiting also, tonight
for the blink of an eye
in the blink of an eye
everything will change forever
and it happens at so many levels
but some floors are above you to crush you
make you refined
cosmic dust and coal to diamonds
and we both know it's not uncommon
how we're hung when we're wrapped around fingers
of a fairytale
if time is earthbound
do you blink and we're all around
or do you think we'll come around
and keep on waiting in the woods
creeping out further
on the outskirts of heaven
what is the secret
you're whispered to keep you patient
or do they tell you another lie
you keep on waiting after dark
creeping out further
on the outskirts of the stars
and i believe you're out there
beyond the skyline of heaven
cause when i look up at the sky
nothing new there catches my eye
are you wandering for more,
in your creative mind
are you looking for more,
not satisfied
are you looking for what
you were told you would find
waiting also, tonight
for the blink of an eye
for the blink of an eye
are you great, are you alright?
waiting for a blink of the eye
for everybody
(is there anything i can do but wonder,
i want to believe you are fine
they say i'll know in the blink of an eye
i know they're right
i can't wait to see you in time..)
