always this late

and it's always this late
as the clock strikes 4
that the world falls asleep
leaves me wanting more
and it's always this way
even when I was in love
I am living the dreams
everyone else dreams of

on a higher plane
deep inside my brain
there's a light that shines
when the day resigns
when a spirit calls
just like waterfalls
something else must rise
when you close your eyes

you can find your way to live your sweetest dreams
or you can fall asleep and know not what it means
to reach the higher plane found deep inside
that connects to the infinite outside
a power far beyond this earthly ride
that creates life and makes stars collide
whatever you call it this is true
it begins and ends inside of you

and it's always this late
as the clock strikes for
those who's words get too deep
and we're left wanting more
and it's always this way
and we're always alone
wondering if we will
always be on our own

on a higher plane
deep inside the brain
where the waking light
brings us second sight
and a spirit's call
says to give it all
beyond space and time
come inside this rhyme

we can find our way to live our sweetest dreams
or we can fall asleep and know not what it means
to reach the higher plane found deep inside
that connects to the infinite outside
a power far beyond this earthly ride
that creates life and makes stars collide
whatever we call it this is true
it begins and ends inside of you
and you and you and you
and me too
