Lyrics:

Are you the one I’ve been seeing
Everywhere I go?
Sometimes I really wonder who you are…
Relative or foe

Dreaming of you I often see
Reflections
Of something in me

Life, it’s so huge,
There’s nothing like it
For us humans, there’s no other
Larger adventure

We share the planet with so many
Other species, other people…
I often wonder
Why I fixate on certain people

It’s not like I’m a stalker or any kind of pervert
It’s that certain people cause there to be a resonance
A deep, deep feeling of connection
And when that happens, it’s very hard for me to ignore it

And why should I?
I’m free to do as I please
Especially when it comes to how I feel, and how I think,
And to a certain extent, what I do

The other day I was walking past you
And your scarf, your billowing, silky, turquoise scarf
Was blown into the side of my cheek
A very brief and thin caress

The wind died down and you were gone
But that feeling lingered on

If I open myself to the universe, what will happen to me?
If I close myself to the universe, what will happen to me?

We’re here for such a brief, brief moment
And yet it feels like forever as long
As you’re alive

I’m sitting here and I think…
Why am I sitting here, why am I thinking?
Is it really something I should be doing?
I feel like I’m not being active enough
That my life is not yet tangible…
