Major Air - Across the Waves

Oil painted water zips to a water color sky
By buzzin' lights on the horizon
Venus looks down on me, but across the waves
A golden city is hidin' stars from me
And it ain't this blood moon makin' me crazy

Black sky, marked by blacker clouds
In the distance, the size of mountains
They tower over that city
And light up the sky with flashes so bright
Branchin' pillars of light
And I wonder, ooh, I wonder
Can I be that light
Will I be that light
Can I be that light, will I be that light

Waves are crashin' far away
I find a better place
Bottle my mind, let it slip away
Walk a quarter mile out
While my mimd drifts about
Still I hear those sounds, those lickin' waves

I can't seem to get away
Maybe it's not a place that lies ahead
I don't need a getaway, all I need's a quiet place inside my head

That city shines on me
Its golden light blinding
It fills my head 'til i can't think
Can't see in front of me
Or who I want to be
I question everything

Waves are crashin' far away
I find a better place
Bottle my mind, let it slip away
Walk a quarter mile out
While my mimd drifts about
Still I hear those sounds, those lickin' waves

I can't seem to get away
Maybe it's not a place that lies ahead
I don't need a getaway, all I need's a quiet place inside my head

I can't seem to get away
All I need's a quiet place inside my head
I don't need a getaway, all I need's a quiet place inside my head
