Sending a Message

You're alone

You're inside

And the North Star is hanging above your home

It's so dark

And there is no sound

Except your heart beating away like a Morse code

Out it goes across the lake

The prairie grass lies down in waves

A thousand miles are gone when it comes through

You know that

I'm sending a message to you

Catching light as it goes by

Like comet trails streaking across the sky

And ride it down to anywhere you are

If I'm not right there next to you

And a word can't travel across the room

That anytime you're gone you're gone too far

I, I'm sending a message out to you

When you heat up the sound

Hold up your hands

The wave comes in at the edge of the land

Sending a message out to you

Sending a message, a message out to you

You smile

Because you feel it

Everything's starting to glow and you start to heal it

I, I'm sending a message out to you
