Silent Running Lyrics

[Verse 1]
God only knows
This isn't heaven
The promises made
He'd never keep them

[Chorus]
We're walking on air
We're taking our time
But God only knows
This isn't reason or rhyme

[Verse 2]
I've had this feeling
I don't believe it
It's happened before
I just reject it

[Chorus]
We're walking on air
We're taking our time
But God only knows
This isn't reason or rhyme

[Verse 3]
These are the feelings
I know their outcome
It's useless pretending
I'd like to beat them

[Chorus]
We're walking on air
We're taking our time
But God only knows
This isn't reason or rhyme

[Chorus]
We're walking on air
We're taking our time
But God only knows
This isn't reason or rhyme

[Outro]
We're walking on air
