You're watching waterfalls, you say it makes you small
And there is something more, that we should be
Leave the air that follows you, blow away the traces of tomorrow

Neighbours from the past, they seemed to grow up fast
It was a wake up call, they seemed so dull
You swore you'd never be like them and left the scene before they could win you over

But don't give up it's just fractions of water
Running through the air
Baby, you are not unaware
Now what do you do?

You go through desert sand, a hand against the sun
Then in the dead of night, the timing's right
To let the stars shine down on you, embrace the solitude and the silence
A desk and coffee cups, the life that you gave up
The stories that you had and those you shared
One day they'll come back to you, you will play a part of what was started

But don't give up it's just fractions of water
Running through the air
Baby, you are not unaware
Don't give up it's just nature and water
Leaving marks on your clothes and hair
Baby, they are just unaware
So what do you do?
