[Verse 1] You disappeared in that forest Guess you found the door that I could never see Only footprints sinking into moss and green I can’t even call your name Only my fingertips remember Shaking lashes, that soft and fading laugh You said, "See you soon" But that breath would never circle back [Chorus] Only consciousness is left in this wide world Where are you now, and what are you seeing? In a room pressed right against the universe There’s one small shade of missing in the blue I’m holding close a you that I can’t ever touch [Verse 2] In the place of scattered sunlight Endless streams of numbers fall like quiet rain Only time keeps slipping like a silver thread Brushing softly past my face Even when I close my eyes now Your gentle shadow starts laughing out of sync In this dream I’m never waking from Someone’s distant prayer is ringing [Chorus] Only consciousness is left in this wide world Your tender voice is blurring far away In a solitude pressed against the universe I grip a promise coming loose at all the seams On the road back home I’m still searching through the dark [Bridge] If I cross that door and somehow meet you there Would you take the me I am and hold me tightly? (hey) I don’t even need a body anymore I just want our hearts to rest on one another [Chorus] Only consciousness is left in this wide world I draw your smiling face a thousand different times In the stillness pressed against the universe All alone I keep on calling out your name Even when I wake I’m walking through that forest still
