Distance Over Time

Midnight on an Atlantic drift
Got a gutful of gifts and a story
Sunlight creeping into my veins
But the memory remains allegory
Quicksand seeping out of my mind
When the planets align, there’s alarm bells
Crashland, back to Earth with a bump
So uncomfortably numb in my brain cells

Chanced on a challenge without a name
Chasing all our dreams on gasoline
We write imaginary stories, I don’t know why
Distance over time

Floodlight shining deep in my eyes
For a look at the prize I am holding
In flight, got no helmet or belt
And come high water or hell I’ll be going
Unwise I am coming undone
All together alone in the hollow
Sunrise, wirеd and wonderful
A bit uncomfortable with the shadows

Chancеd on a challenge without a name
Chasing all our dreams on gasoline
We write imaginary stories, I don’t know why
Choosing distance over time

[Outro: repeating ? times]
Yesterday’s over
Tomorrow won’t come
Forever enamoured
And ever undone
