VERSE ONE:
put me on, as you would a smile or a frown
your world's a mirage, here are the lens
so crystal clear is your envisage
of the world, like no other
of a promise, of a praise, of a hug
in the arms of a mother
PRE-CHORUS ONE:
i'm just a listless song, i just play on and on
i'm in no place to rummage through your memories
but i've born witness to your rises, to your falls, to your democracies
CHORUS:
and darling, darling
as strange is it is in the moment
to bear with it will cause an explosion
so close your eyes, and dream instead, of a faraway land
blindfolded as you go, tripping on cobblestones
here's my helping hand
the way back is closed, but worry no more
the birds will chirp and the sky will soar
VERSE TWO:
take me off, as you would a costume or a mask
naked, into this world you came
native, on a planet in outer space
earphones stuffed into a drawer
i see you when the lights are off
PRE-CHORUS TWO:
imagine the world without a moon
swallowed in darkness; all this green and blue
stay true to the happiness bound to move you
that moves mountains to get to you
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
maybe i spoke too much, of dragons and fires in alleyways
but hidden secrets hurt, more than giving them away
maybe you were unaware this is life before you came into it
maybe it's why you want to run away
and darling, darling
as strange is it is in the moment
to bear with it will cause an explosion
so close your eyes, and dream instead, of a faraway land
blindfolded as you go, i'll lead you home
and tell you it's safe to let go
(CHORUS)
