  • I heard you talking
    Your voice had an old melody
    Like sweet river water
    Back from the bathroom
    Moon in your hair
    Late revival
    It was a short walk home

    I take my time
    I check my sides
    My head revolving
    My soul divides
    My feet collide
    I want to make amends

    My sense was off
    My knees were rolled
    My eyes were sweaty
    My arms were heavy
    I reappeared, except a faded song
    A vision of a real thing

    You take a high wire jump
    You feel time dripping away
    Falling in the burning room
    You feel time dripping away

    And I wait for the moment to come
    And I watch all the minutes run

    I take my time
    My head revolving
    A second chance
    A deviation

    You take a high wire jump
    You feel time dripping away
    Falling in the burning room
    You feel time dripping away

    I put myself in a letter
    I send myself on the power lines
    A picture of yourself in the future
    And nation in the plains
    Beyond the frames
    Two figurines on the melter
    You find yourself, again, on holiday
    I feel it in my brain
    Do you feel the same?
    I can't be ignored on video

    You take a high wire jump
    You feel time dripping away
    Falling in the burning room
    You feel time dripping away Writer/s: Fran Keaney, Joe Russo, Joe White, Marcel Tussie, Tom Russo
