lyrics

please let me try again try to tell you my story/but how can i explain?/it came one summer's day with the sounding of thunder/though i saw no flash or rain/without premeditation without moving a step/i felt my soul and body slip into the world next door/i wish you could have been there/how can i explain?/i screwed my head on straight took a long look around me/i said 'i know not what i see'/the air was quiet and still yet it moved within me/then i knew wonder again/oh colors more colorful your eyes have never seen/our daydreams have never come close/ah what a shame/a shame/i wish you could have been there/how can i explain?/like lover's skin laid bare i was stripped of my memory/and knew my own true weight/my flesh turned into clay i was softened caressed and molded into my own true shape/oh art of this kind your eyes have never seen/our fingers have never come close/ah what a shame/a shame/i wish you could have been there/how can i explain/oh music so sweet your head has never dreamed/i promise you we've never come close/and the reason that i've come back is only to tell you that there's room inside the world next door/and though your song still speaks right down to my soul/it's no more than a beautiful shadow of the song from which it came/it came yeah/it came/i wish you could have been there/for how can i explain?/how can i explain?
