I can't believe What we've Seen outside You and me Watching the jets Go by Oh, ooh, oh Oh, ooh, oh Just what I've seen So many people Falling in love You and me Watching the sea Full of people Try not to drown So many people So many people Where do they go? You and me Watching the sky In the future That's where We can go All I can take From these skies Is fog And all I can see In this light A boat sinking Oh, oooh Oh, oooh, oh Somebody's sea Swallowed by evil Already gone You and me Watching the sea Full of people Already drowning So many people So many people Where did they go? You and me Hit by a cloud From an eagle Watching the jets Pass go by You and me watching You and me watching Capture have swept me behind That's what I mean When we talk In this jet stream We're climbing A hole in the sky
