Lyrics

Wherever you are

Expressing a connection regardless of physical location.

It's three a.m. and I'm awake

Noting a late-night moment of wakefulness.

Imagine the light

Inviting the listener to envision a specific scene.

Upon your blue transparent face

Describing the imagined face illuminated by light.

Through colored glass

Highlighting the influence of colored glass on perception.

It filters down to warmest red

Describing the filtering of light to a warm red hue.

Faded

Noting a faded quality, perhaps in memory or experience.

I'm the one who reads your mind

Claiming the ability to understand the listener's thoughts.

See my life in your design

Seeing the speaker's life reflected in the listener's design or choices.

True companion at your side

Expressing a commitment to be a loyal companion.

You're gracious and good

Acknowledging the listener's goodness in challenging circumstances.

When all around is turning bad

Describing a positive demeanor amidst a negative environment.

Restless and brave

Highlighting qualities of restlessness and bravery.

When laid upon suburban grass

Depicting a scene of laying on suburban grass.

Your timing is right

Praising the listener's impeccable timing.

Remove the sad persistent thought

Suggesting the removal of persistent sad thoughts.

Hold the course

Encouraging to stay on the chosen path.

I'm the one who reads your mind

Reiterating the claim of understanding the listener's thoughts.

See my life in your design

Reaffirming the connection between the speaker's life and the listener's choices.

True companion at your side

Repeating the commitment to be a true companion.

I'll give you something, for when I'm not around,

Promising a thoughtful gift for moments of absence.

To make you smile

Committing to bring a smile in the listener's absence.

And if you think it then it must be true

Asserting the truth of the listener's thoughts.

If only I could make it through

Expressing a desire to overcome challenges.

Climb into my bed,

Suggesting a desire for intimacy and closeness.

Wherever you are

Repeating the theme of connection regardless of location.

Wherever you are

Emphasizing the universality of the sentiment.

Your timing is good,

Praising the listener's good timing once again.

Remove the sad persistent thought,

Reiterating the removal of persistent sad thoughts.

Hold the course

Encouraging to stay on course despite challenges.

I'm the one who reads your mind

Restating the claim of understanding the listener's thoughts.

See my life in your design

Reaffirming the connection between the speaker's life and the listener's choices.

True companion at your side

Repeating the commitment to be a true companion.

I'll leave you something for when I'm not around,

Reiterating the promise of a thoughtful gift for absence.

To make you smile,

Recommitting to bring a smile in the listener's absence.

Outside that wasteland

Referencing a place of desolation or difficulty.

And if only I could make it through

Expressing a desire to overcome challenges once more.

If you think it then it must be true

Affirming the truth of the listener's thoughts once again.

Wherever you are

Repeating the theme of connection regardless of location.
