I've fled my life without a last goodbye
But I'm alive, here where the shoreline meets the cliff side
In the splendor of stalled time
Where the air is sweet like it's always been

Towards the "now" and away from "then"
In hopes I'll "find myself" again
In the shadow of a cliff I'm different

A single set of footprints splitting from two and trying
To find their way back from hiding
Into the strange plunge of the exciting

Flashing smiles and meeting eyes with someone new
Later I am breathless as I turn my back to the moon
Flashing smiles and meeting eyes with someone new
To find my way back from hiding
Into the strange plunge of the exciting
