His eyes were deeper than the Caspian Sea
but I did not drown in it,
he would not let me.

We're both having rain
but we refuse to share an umbrella

Oh, I'd like to throw you in the sky
                      and run you like a kite
Smiling as I'm watching you fly above me
Taking you to endless,
                         breathless,
                         /boundless/ heights

I see stars above the sky
smiling to people walking by,

within the crowd there'd be
you and
me
yet miles away, somewhere I
can't see
