Lyrics

I didn't think that I was high at the time
Although I felt then, as I do now, that I'm always falling behind
And when I step to the edge — it's like I can see forever
At the same time, I know I'll never get there
And if I'm here and I'm there, I'm still scared
And sometimes I wonder if it has to be this way

So, anyway, I was wondering how far it was that I could see
And what does it matter anyway if all you see are things you'll never be?
Like when you reach for this thing and you can't quite grasp it —
It stays out of reach the harder you try
It's like looking through the bright blue forever and never understanding sky

Yeah, how long?
How long to wrong this right?
How long to sing one last song
In the gaze of the starswept night?
Yeah how long?
How long to wrong this right?
how long to sing one last song
In the gaze of the starswept night?

So there I was, in the blend between night and day
And I was finding it hard to think straight
But it wasn't as if I had anything to say
Or was making anyone wait
I decided to turn around and go back where I was from
And who knows what it is that we left behind?
Sometimes you change your location, and sometimes you just change your mind

And I was almost there, but it's just like that thing you can't quite reach
Sometimes you go out deep in the ocean
And sometimes you're just left on the beach
And that's where you have to stay — you've got nowhere left to go
And there's no more time to learn something new
And there's still nothing left to know

Yeah, how long?
How long to wrong this right?
How long to sing one last song
In the gaze of the starswept night?
Yeah how long?
How long to wrong this right?
how long to sing one last song
In the gaze of the starswept night?
