Closer to the Sun

Have you seen her
Slipping through the crowd on silver beams?
Smiling at this city makes me wonder
If there's something I've yet to see
A little unsettled, a little out of time

I have felt her
Wilful as water running free
Makes me feel as if there's somewhere else I really need to be
Maybe an appointment that I've missed
Softened lips that I might have kissed
Just a little touch of bliss

She knows, she goes where angels fall
Closer to the sun
She flies, she rides above it all
She shines for everyone
She aches, she breaks my darkest days
When I come undone
She cries, she tries to bring me closer to the sun

I do wonder
The deeper I've looked the more I've found
The more I straighten up the more I find I'm upside down
She never missed a beat
Hand to God I saw her feet leave the ground
And never made a sound

She knows, she goes where angels fall
Closer to the sun
She flies, she rides above it all
She shines for everyone
She aches, she breaks my darkest days
When I come undone
She cries she tries to bring me closer to the sun

She says that it's all in my head
Those tragedies unspoken
She knows all the best things in life
Are a little bit broken
We're all just a little bit broken

There's a picture
An angel walking barefoot through the streets
I am captivated knowing that our eyes will never meet
And still, her light will pierce my heart
Something stopped inside me once again will start
As I gently come apart

She knows, she goes where angels fall
Closer to the sun
She flies, she rides above it all
She shines for everyone
She aches she breaks my darkest days
When I come undone
She cries she tries to bring me closer to the sun

Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Closer to the sun
