For when my hands are still, I'll recognize the message
In higher lives we seem to be always a moment too late
There must have been a time when I thought that you were watching
My hands held the wheel, my eyes tried to hold their place
This time for real, I locked the door behind me
My mind was still a wreck from what I saw
Had I run out of time? Did I push myself too far?
Outside I watched you burn, heavy hearts were bleeding
Had I come back to life or did I ever leave at all?
It must have been a cloud no bigger than a man's hand
We're past the time when we looked on
I thought I'd slipped away, I thought I could still feel us moving
Now, we're the ones who help to set the sun
We're past the time when we looked on
It had to be when my senses lost control
Every reason I risk my life to come back to you
As my last step fell, I felt my hands upon the wheel
Never again will my senses lose control
Is locked behind your door, you're my immunity
As I walked away, I wondered what had really happened
A cry for help, a familiar voice, my melting hands streaked the glass
A shadow of limits we were racing the rain
In higher lives we seem to be always a moment too late
