lyrics

You remind me of someone
Someone I knew long ago
When the heart was a soft place, a fertile field where love would grow

Do you ponder me lately on the road that lead you where you are?
Make a fire of me, burn my name, cast me to the stars

The mind is a heavy load on a hot track peeling space and time back
I’m gonna jump that thing and hold on tight
Ya know it was an explosion that built the light?
Do you remember when?

Awake all night while the day folds back on me
The moon is my ally and time has become the enemy

The soul is an expression of the chaos of pure energy but we call love
I could hit the road for anywhere tonight knowing it was an explosion that built the light
Do you remember when?
