[Verse 1]
It was a wild, wild dream, but I was afraid to love you
The years went by, I was tracing your shape
Now it feels as though I would tremble to touch you
All these years I was typing your name
[Chorus]
And suddenly you're not a smile on a screen
Suddenly I'm floating miles above a canyon in the sun
And heavy as the riverbed beneath
Dry and crumbling at your feet
(At your feet)
[Verse 2]
I'm returning from a trip across her kindness
I'll be waiting in the courts of her highness
I could be counting all the flutters of her eyelids
While I'm lost here in the sound of her quiet
[Pre-Chorus]
(Suddenly there you are)
And suddenly you're not a smile on a screen
(Suddenly there you are)
Suddenly I'm floating miles above a canyon in the sun
(Suddenly there you are)
And heavy as the riverbed beneath
(Suddenly there I'll be)
Dry and crumbling at your feet
(At your feet)
(Your feet...)
[Chorus]
And suddenly you're not a smile on a screen
Suddenly I'm floating miles above a canyon in the sun
And heavy as the riverbed beneath
Dry and crumbling at your feet
