Verse 1
Oh the words had all been spoken,
But somehow the feeling still wasn't right,
and still we continued on through the night.
Tracing our steps from the beginning,
Until they vanished into the air.
Trying to understand how our lives had led us there.
Refrain
Looking hard into your eyes, there was nobody I'd ever known.
Such an empty surprise to feel so alone.
Verse 2
Now for me, some words come easy
but I know that they don't mean that much,
compared with the things that are said when lovers touch.
You never knew what I loved in you,
I don't know what you loved in me.
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be.
Chorus
Awake again, I can't pretend and I know I am alone.
And close to the end of the feeling we've known.
How long have I been sleeping?
How long have I been drifting alone through the night?
How long have I been dreaming I
could make it right if I closed my eyes
and try with all my might to be the one you need ...
Chorus
Awake again, I can't pretend and I know I am alone.
And close to the end of the feeling we've known.
How long have I been sleeping?
How long have I been drifting alone through the night?
How long have I been running for
that morning flight through the whispered promises
in the changing light of the bed where we both lie,
late for the sky.
