Lyrics
You only look after you leap
I only pray once I'm asleep
But when I do, it's for you and that
There's soft ground underneath
You always say you're right beside
No matter when or where I hide
How come I feel I can't keep up
And I've already missed my ride?
Please - I need to know you made it
To hear you're no more worse for wear
I always thought we'd go together
I guess I'll meet you there
They look to me to deliver them safe
And I'm just staring off into space
I'm in the air - I'm in despair
My arms are reaching out for grace
Please - I need to know you made it
To hear there's no more pain to bear
I always thought we'd go together
I hope I meet you there
Meet you there
Meet you there
You just go on ahead without me
These feet of clay will have to fare
You just go on ahead
You only look after you leap
I only pray once I'm asleep
But when I do, it's for you and
That there's soft ground underneath
