For One Day

For one day
I’m deaf to
What they say
Forget who they are

For every raindrop falling on my face
Thousands more fall to another place
I see you sweeping up the puddles hopelessly
In the end you spend your whole life wondering

For one day
We stand on
The hilltops
And watch them go by

For every raindrop falling on your face
Thousands more fall to another place
See you sweeping up the puddles hopelessly
In the end you spend your whole life wondering

Suddenly this isn’t me
I’m not what I was meant to be
There’s you nothing you can do or say to kill the need
It’ll slip between your fingertips eventually
And everything I knew now doesn’t seem to fit
This world I was born into has turned to…

Every raindrop falling on your face
Thousands more fall to another place
See you sweeping up the puddles hopelessly
In the end you spend your whole life lost at sea.
