Lyrics

Yeah I can see for miles and the time is empty

I bounce on a wire just try and stop me

A million things I could think of today

Cause my mind is racing, I wanna stay

And get lost in your eyes

But can you swim when you cry, hey

I'm walking down a spiral staircase

Never gonna ever be able to place

The kind of things I see and hear

A room that's washed in burnin' tears

Well I walk that on by

I can't rest well when you cry, hey

Today my world has been painted light

Where's the snow that's painted white

A million things I could think of today

Cause my mind is racing and I just wanna stay

And get lost in your eyes

Slap me don't even try

Tomorrow's gonna pass on by

But can you swim when you cry
