Story behind the song
This is an alternate reality piece... a love song from a darker, more frightened world.
Lyrics
I'm running through the places where I hope that you might be;
I'm chasing down the echoes of your voice in memory.
I'm searching for the clifftop where I balked despite your call.
I am brave enough to fly now-- I am brave enough to fall.
Drive by sunlight, take me unaware
In the shining glow on my hands and hair
In the sweep of warmth across my startled face--
When I'm least expecting it, a touch of grace.
I'm bringing you the answers that I didn't have before.
I'm done with trepidation, contemplation, keeping score.
When I lost you in my silence, then my silence stole the sun.
So let it shatter as I sing and search, and as I run.
Somewhere, we were somewhere;
As I paused, you ventured on.
Somewhere, we were somewhere,
I looked back and you were gone,
back, then you were gone.
Come find me in these mazes... take me by the heart and hand.
Come back to me from somewhere because now I understand.
Come find me in the fear that grows as shadows lengthen on--
I am ready for the clifftop, but the day has been and gone.
Drive by sunlight, take me unaware
In the shining glow on my hands and hair
In the sweep of warmth across my startled face--
When I'm least expecting it, a touch of grace.
Drive by sunlight, come again to me
As you used to do in my memory
As you would somewhere in a braver world
Where I jumped and laughed to see my wings unfurl--
Where we jumped together and our wings unfurled--
Where I wasn't such a frightened girl--
Where we jumped...
Nowhere, I am nowhere;
Dizzied by the constant rain;
Dizzied by my heart's dull thunder
Through each artery and vein,
These weak words cannot explain, for
These weak words cannot contain
the magnitude....
Drive by sunlight, take me unaware--
Take me unaware; I'm ready.
