To promises of clearer days
I am just a tiny wave
All too often I become lost
Anything but me
I'm gaining power, losing speed
'Til I'm no longer whole
I am just another shooting star
I lie in bed and dream of you
Someone who was meant to hear
Anything but me
Until I have your full attention
(Anything but me, anything but me)
Moving slowly towards the shore
Wondering as I near your door
Each time I safely cross the sea
Anything but me
I am just a raindrop
A minor ripple out at sea
That accelerates without control
Clinging still against my will
In the hazy world surrounding me
You've become an island
To promises of clearer days
In the fog and haze
Offering a vast reward
For the tidal wave approaching shore?
Offering a vast reward
Above that you might see
(Anything but me, anything but me)
All too often I become lost
(Anything but me, anything but me)
I'll be anything but me
When your message can't get through
(Anything but me, anything but me)
Sometimes on a rainy day
Losing bits and pieces in descent
Bouncing everything you say to
In the fog and haze
Clinging still against my will
In the hazy world surrounding me
Burdened with uncertainty
Each time I safely cross the sea
You've become an island
So blame it on the satellite
Will you hold it open
