Falling down, burning out, this life will swallow you Turn back ‘round, discover how, reveal the inner you
With one fleeting step I fall into you – A mesmerizing whirlwind of colors and sounds anew Lightning in a bottle ‘round every corner – The smell of air seasoned with life’s perfume

You’re my reality, you’re my daytime in the night, you’re my candle burning bright You’re my endless day when the sun fades away When my dreams are haunting me, you’re my reality
With one precise shift we are out of here – Seamlessly in reverse back through the years Colors changing, we have exited the promised land – The care of wondering if they’re right, and where we are, and where I stand
And I assumed I’d need you, but just how right I was, I didn’t even know Your eyes and your skin beneath the lights, under the glimmer of my life, you are more beautiful
Tasting your life, you’re holding me in Keeping me sane, keeping me real Without you, I’m nothing, a dream that fades away in the morning
Keep me in this world, I've something to bring Something to show, to let them all see Show them the power, let them see why I’m here, let them see that
