lyrics

I opened my eyes this morning to the sun
but it took me a while to remember where I was
in the middle of a city in the 21st century
if this is where I am then this is where I'm supposed to be

can you measure happiness, how can you measure faith?
do you know who I am, do you recognize my face?
when everyone around me is hanging by a string
and everyone pretends, but no one knows anything

oh, if I knew then I would tell you
oh, if you'd let me I would take you
oh, no one knows the truth but we'll die for it just the same

earthbound now but not for long, so touch me while you can
never let me scare you, just be my loving man
though years and days and hours will swallow up our love
and we'll be left with nothing but the stars in the sky above

I would have you think that my intentions are pure
that I'm searching for the magic key to open up the door
but I truly find no meaning in a law laid down by man
and I all I really want is just to hold your hand

I'm waiting for the day when I find some other way
but for now I'll go on loving you
'cause it's the only thing I can do
it's the only thing I can do
