Light, it's all over us Like it always was Like it always was Shape by the clearest blue But it's not enough It's not enough, not enough Just another time we're caught inside Every open eye Holding on tightly to the sides Never quite learning why You'll meet me, you'll meet me You'll meet me halfway Whenever I feel it coming on You can be well aware If ever I try to push you away You can just keep me there So please say you'll meet me Meet me halfway Tied to the shifting ground Like I always was Like I always was You, were the perfect star But it's not enough, it's not enough Not enough, not enough Just another time that I go down But you were keeping up Holding to a hope you undermined Never to be reversed Just another time we're caught inside Every open eye Holding on tightly to the sides Never quite learning why Whenever I feel it coming on You can be well aware If ever I try to push you away You can just keep me tell me Tell me tell me, you'll meet me Tell me tell me, you'll keep me Tell me tell me, you'll meet me Will you meet me more than halfway Shape by the clearest blue Shape by the clearest blue Shape by the clearest blue (will you meet me more than halfway) Shape by the clearest blue (will you meet me more than halfway)
