Lyrics

Did this room just get brighter with color?
Has my pain fallen into you?
And disappeared, as if it was burned for its energy
You?re turning this all from a dream into real
All our senses can feel

CHORUS:
You?re the source of the sound and the light
Does it hurt you to burn like the day through this night?
Why are you wired and what can we do
To bring us all closer to you
To bring the world closer to you

I thought a long time ago about a good life
And I was sure that had passed me by
But here it is, as some sort of warm electricity
So where did you come from, ?cause me, I?d never say
That the world could feel this way

Is it something you?ve tamed?
Is the power the same, only stronger, in you?
There?s no way to think we could ignite
Pulling sound into light into love into life
Like you do
How are you made?

Can somebody please tell me I?m seeing this?
And that they hear the melodies and harmonies
That hum away, and drown out the noise we?ve been living to
There?s no one could hold back with you unto me
All our senses are free
