Outer Reaches lyrics

You were the seeker then

I was a hunted man

Had the sun in my eyes

You had the moon in your hand

Danger signs at the point of intersection

On a secret street

In a cluttered room

Love was changing form

Like wind on the dunes

All I held

Was just your bright reflection

'Cause there's a mirror world

On the other side

If you stare too long

You get caught inside, yeah

I'm in the outer reaches

I'm in the outer reaches

And I can't get back to you

You don't know who you'll meet

As the planet turns

Put your hand too close

You're bound to get burned

You were good for me

Like water to the wound

I know that gravity is a funny thing

Keeps you comin' back

When she pull on the string, yeah

I'm in the outer reaches

I'm in the outer reaches

And I can't get back to you

Yeah

Far from all I know

Faces burn and glow

Bridges, tunnels, side roads

Still so far to go

As you wave to me

From a distant shore

In a darkened hall

I'm tryin' every door

In the real world

You're just seven numbers away

But I'm all split up

And I'm runnin' down

All my messages

Come back around

Yeah

I'm in the outer reaches

I'm in the outer reaches

And I can't get back to you

Yeah

I'm in the outer reaches

I'm in the outer reaches

And I can't get back to you

Yeah
