Somewhere Out There

Our Lady Peace

Last time I talked to you

You were lonely and out of place

You were looking down on me

Lost out in space

I remember the night you said goodbye. You were standing on my balcony, and when I went out to greet you like every other night, you wrapped me in your arms before I could say anything. You kissed me, and I knew there was something wrong, even when you didn't tell me right away. Instead you told me you wanted to take me somewhere.

We laid underneath the stars

Strung out and feeling brave

You brought me to the hill that overlooks the town, and we lay down to look at the stars. You wrapped your arm around me, and I snuggled into your warmth. It had become so familiar; I thought it could never be taken away. I should have known fate would prove me wrong.

I watched the red orange glow

We stayed there until the sun started to come up, and then you flew me back to my balcony, and that's where you told me. Krad was going to destroy everything, and you had to leave so he would follow you. But you promised me you'd return. You left me with another kiss to seal your promise.

I watched you float away

I couldn't stop the tears from coming, even though you were too far away by then to see them. You were flying away from me on those black wings of yours, those same black wings I used to wish I'd never see; I was already waiting for them to come back to me.

Down here in the atmosphere

Garbage and city lights

Since you've gone, everything seems so surreal. Nothing can go back to the way it used to be, and I don't want it to. Please be safe, please come back to me.

You've gone to save your tired soul

You've gone to save our lives

I've been searching every night for a sign of your return, but I am still kept waiting. I'll try to be patient Dark, but I'm worried about you. You seemed, distant, before you left. Almost like you didn't expect to come back.

I turned on the radio

To find you on satellite

I'm waiting for this sky to fall

I'm waiting for a sign

Don't forget Dark, you promised me! You promised me you'd return for me…you promised. I wish I knew where you are, if you're safe.

All we are

Is all so far

You're falling back to me

A star that I can see

Yeah

I've been dreaming of you every night, have you been thinking of me? I can't seem to keep you off my mind. You're in every thought I have, I can still see you smiling at me in my mind's eye.

I know you're out there

Somewhere out there

You're falling out of reach

Defying gravity

Yeah

I know you're out there

Somewhere out there

Please come back to me soon, I love you Dark.

I hope you remember me

When you're homesick and need a change

I miss your purple hair

I miss the way you taste

Do you remember all those nights we spent together? We talked about anything, and it was everything to me.

I know you'll come back someday

On a bed of nails I'll wait

I'm praying that you don't burn out

Satoshi came back to school today. I know he's Krad…so where are you Dark?

Or fade away

All we are

Is all so far

I saw black wings grace the sky tonight, but you didn't come to see me. I've been waiting for so long, did you forget your promise?

You're falling back to me

A star that I can see

Yeah

I know you're out there

Somewhere out there

You're falling out of reach

Defying gravity

Yeah

I know you're out there

Somewhere out there

You're falling back to me

A star that I can see

You've been flying every night, but this time white wings joined you. I saw you fighting, but you were so far away. I felt so helpless.

I know you're out there

You're falling out of reach

Defying gravity

Isn't the battle over yet?

I know you're out there

Somewhere out there

The battle's moved closer, I can see you clearly now. You're injured, oh, no, Dark. Suddenly I know what's going to happen, and I run out of the house. I'm sure I woke Risa, but I don't care. I have to reach you Dark; you're all that matters.

You're falling back to me

Even though I'm still running, I know you're falling. I push faster; I'm trying to make it. I want to be where you are.

A star that I can see

I know you're out there

Somewhere out there

Finally I am right below you, and you are still falling. You're so high up, but you're coming down so fast. It can't end this way! You can't die! "Dark!"

You're falling out of reach

Defying gravity

You opened your wings, but you're still falling. I'm right here, ready to catch you. I open my arms wide, and you finally see me.

You're falling back to me

Your wings slow you enough to allow me to catch you. I fall down with you from the impact, and your head ends up on my lap when I sit up. This wasn't how you were supposed to come back to me.

I know

"I promised I'd come back for you, Riku." You're hand reaches up to caress my face, and I cover it with mine, leaning into what I know is your last touch.

I know

The tears are running freely now, but I still smile at you as you smile at me. "I love you."

You're falling out of reach

I know
