he looks like me
but not so haunted
eyes like the sea in storm in torment
how can a body so frail contain this spirit
this creature i see

we're taking an avalanche
and lifting it up again
i've been high enough
to get to where i wanna go (ooh)
and living another day
won't keep me out of touch
i'll find you some day
got to get you out of this somehow i know

he looks right through me
so unprotected his only legacy, returned, rejected
so young so free, so old and ridden
oh what you see

we're taking an avalanche
and lifting it up again
i've been high enough
to get to where i wanna go (ooh)
and living another day
won't keep me out of touch
i'll find you some day
got to get you out of this somehow i know

he's nothing like me, so wrong and wretched
your safe reality is living in sketches
and live out happiness with no explanation
and peer out at the world

we're taking an avalanche
and lifting it up again
i've been high enough
to get to where i wanna go (ooh)
and living another day
won't keep me out of touch
i'll find you some day
got to get you out of this somehow i know
