separation
Here we go
Just like before
Looking for the handle
In a wall without doors.
Aching to touch but afraid of the pain.
Dying of thirst but afraid of the rain.
Why can’t we let
The past lose itself
And simply forget
What time takes with stealth?
We can’t reach it
Though it seems so near.
Is it because
We’re both scared of fear?
You’re born alone.
You die alone too.
In between you’re lonely
Trying to get through
To another heart
That’s lonely too.
So help me find myself in you.
Please help me find myself in you.
How can we
Ever get nearer
When all we see
Is our rear view mirror?
I hear your plea.
It’s plaintive and it’s plain.
It tears my heart
And it tortures my brain.
How did we get stuck
On this one-way trip?
What is it that’s playing
A five and ten cent trick?
It seems so close
And it seems so clear
If we stick out our hands
We could touch it from here.
But how can we
Ever get nearer
When all we see
Is our rear view mirror?
You’re born alone.
You die alone too.
In between you’re lonely
Trying to get through
To another heart
That’s lonely too.
So help me find myself in you.
Please help me find myself in you.
A mariner sailed on lonely seas.
There was no one there to see him sail free
Of the prison of the great watery.
So he wasn’t sure if the last wave
Was his redemption or his grave.
Can we find
The waters of love
With no need to sail free
To the great above?
Can we move
Together as one
And forget
Where we’ve sailed from?
It surrounds us.
Couldn’t be any nearer.
One of these days
We’ll break the mirror.
You’re born alone.
You die alone too.
In between you’re lonely
Trying to get through
To another heart
That’s lonely too.
So help me find myself in you.
Please help me find myself in you.
