Friend, it's getting late We should be going We've been sat here beneath these flickering neons for hours while I am cracking their code, you are deciphering me for i am a mystery, I am a locked room in a tall tower [Chorus] Oh can you feel the gravity falling, calling us home? Oh, did you see the stars colliding, shining just to show we belong? We belong. Your telescope eyes see everything clearly My vision is blurred but i know what i heard echoing all around while I am tuning you in, you are deciphering me not such a mystery, not such a faint in a far away sound [Chorus] It's love, it's love that holds us We will be alright It's truth, it's truth that shows us If we'll walk in it's (his) light [Repeat: x 2] Oh can you feel the gravity falling, calling us home? Oh, did you see the stars colliding, shining just to show we belong? Oh can you feel the gravity falling, calling us home? (we belong) Oh, did you see the stars colliding, shining goes to show we belong?
