The one who help to set the sun

Watching my window, I was led like a child

As the roadway lamplights misguided my mind through the night

A shadow of limits we were racing the rain

My hands held the wheel, my eyes tried to hold their place

There must have been a time when I thought that you were watching

It had to be when my senses lost control

I thought I'd slipped away, I thought I could still feel us moving

It must have been a cloud no bigger than a man's hand

Every reason I risk my life to come back to you

Is locked behind your door, you're my immunity

Outside I watched you burn, heavy hearts were bleeding

A cry for help, a familiar voice, my melting hands streaked the glass

As I walked away, I wondered what had really happened

Had I run out of time? Did I push myself too far?

As my last step fell, I felt my hands upon the wheel

Had I come back to life or did I ever leave at all?

In higher lives we seem to be always a moment too late

We're past the time when we looked on

Now, we're the ones who help to set the sun

This time for real, I locked the door behind me

My mind was still a wreck from what I saw

For when my hands are still, I'll recognize the message

Never again will my senses lose control

In higher lives we seem to be always a moment too late

We're past the time when we looked on

Now, we're the ones who help to set the sun
