Oh, hey, yeah

Lyin' awake like I've been before
But I'm miles away, I can't see straight no more
Right in your space, I just walked through your door
But I'm still so far away

Ooh, ooh, oh, yeah

My eyes don't glow like they did before
Reflecting the light of day, hey
Ravelling softly while you speak in time
But I'm still so far away

Lyin' awake like I've been before
But I'm miles away, I can't see straight no more
Right in your space, I just walked through your door
But I'm still so far away

Ground slips away while the earth decays
Tired of breakin' day, hey
Turnin' around at the speed of sound
But I'm still so far away

Lyin' awake like I've been before
But I'm miles away, I can't see straight no more
Right in your space, I just walked through your door
But I'm still so far away
