Never one was I to go spreading any wings

Firmly routed to the ground just like a tree

Never one was I to believe in such things

Tried to avoid thinking 'bout it too deeply

 

It's a mystery to me

An impossibility

 

Never one was I to colour outside of the lines

Such familiarity to a blank inside

Never one was I to go wasting time

In fate or forces or fables of any kind

 

The unexplainable

Sometimes makes me fearful

Reminds me we're powerless and small

And in fact we don't know it all

 

But just for a moment

I stepped outside of myself

And I could see

The world that I knew and the world

That I knew was sleeping sweetly

My house, my home, my skin

My bones, everything that I need

Tired from the certainty

 

Never one was I

Never one was I

Never one was I

Never one was I

 

Never one was I to re-evalulate

This road I swear never used to twist this much

Never one was I to make such a mistake

Conclusions that were made in such a rush

 

Like a child sleepwalking in the night

Like a child sleepwalking in the night

 

But just for a moment

I stepped outside

Of myself and I could see

The world that I knew

And the world

That I knew was sleeping sweetly

My house, my home, my skin

My bones, everything that I need

It really did look so lovely

 

But just for a moment I stepped

Outside of myself and I could see

The world that I knew and the world

That I knew was sleeping sweetly

My house, my home, my skin

My bones, everything that I need

 

It really did look so lovely
