[Verse 1]
We were shootin' for the same degree
You worked so quietly
Eyes on the prize, not on a guy like me
I was tangled up in my own strings
Learning how to spread my wings
Finding my way to my rite of spring

[Pre-Chorus]
You had played with pain
Had no time for games
Can't stop staying your name

[Chorus]
Nausheen
Forever you float through my dreams
A slow-motion movie scene
Fields of green
Nausheen
As easy as breathin' to me
As blinding as sun off the sea
Oh, Nausheen

[Verse 2]
I pushed until I reached the sky
But the air gets cold up high
Breathin' it in, I shiver and I sigh
The days turn into a blue malaise
I think about a hundred ways
I could've roamed the roads I've left unpaved
