[Verse 1]
Watching shadows dancing on the wall
Painting you and me before the fall
Time and fate have left me in this place
And reality is in my face
Is this it? And just how will I know?
Hiding under a blanket of snow
When tomorrow is another day
With bright colours over skies of grey

[Verse 2]
Somewhere high above the timberline
Must be some way I can redefine
In this atmosphere of discontent
Leaving all of this without torment
Break the shackles that have kept me down
Feel the fresh air, have to leave this town
Moving further out with both arms spread
Ever higher up the steps ahead

[Chorus]
Here comes the wave in
Let the water even everything
When the morning comes
All this you'll find behind you
Whispering to me
Is the wind that blows and birds that sing?
Dry your tears
It's just something we must go through
[Verse 3]
Out with the old and in with the new
This is something that we have to do
Through the storm, I travel in the night
Find my comfort come the morning light
Somewhere high above the timberline
Must be some way I can redefine
In this atmosphere of discontent
Leaving everything without torment

[Chorus]
Here comes the wave in
Let the water even everything
When the morning comes
All this you'll find behind you
Whispering to me
Is the wind that blows and birds that sing?
Dry your tears
It's just something we must go through

[Outro]
How will I know?
How will I know?
How will I know?
How will I know?
