Across the sunrise and covered by windows and blinds
Away from wandering eyes as they struggle for something to see
Hiding, don't want anybody to find them and try to deprive them
Of all of those magical breaths that they breathe

Around the corner and up the elevator a floor
Between the smoke and the movement she uses the music to see
Hidden, but living and breathing, a lesson, a vision,
If only they'd listened they'd see

There'd be no more running away
And no more missing that midnight train
They go so much faster now days
And good thing 'cause you need to be home before light
It won't be easy at first but you'll have to get used to it, sometime
It's only for the rest of your life

We've come to help you decide
How to spend the rest of your days and nights
We understand that you've tried it before and it froze you alive
And if you could have only been free you'd have listened to reason
Before you had wasted our time

Well, it's going to be different this time

There'd be no more running away
And no more missing that midnight train
They go so much faster now days
And good thing 'cause you need to be home before light
It won't be easy at first but you'll have to get used to it, sometime
It's only for the rest of your life
