could you explain to a simple man / why you always have to back away
when something in your eyes / is asking me to make you stay

let's say we're lost in a sudden storm / and settle down into the night
we're still a universe away / but it's alright

when we connect with a lightning look / it's frightening strong
i can almost feel us falling
love is awake and it says / we're circling far too long

get off that air of mystery / reach down into your silence
and astonish me / astonish me

get off that forlorn majesty / come down into this current
and astonish me / astonish me
