[Verse 1: Adam Gardner]
After all the years away
I don't feel that much older
Over the holiday
It keeps me away

[Pre-Chorus: Adam Gardner & Ryan Miller/Miller]
Standing on the sand
Staring at the sea
Waiting for a whale
To come and swallow me
The day is gone now
Still not swimming
Right at this moment
Am I where I need to be
Will I ever be there

[Chorus: Ryan Miller]
When everything I think I've seen
A dream impossible to dream
I'm seeing stars forever
In a starless heaven

[Pre-Chorus: Adam Gardner & Ryan Miller/Miller]
Staring at the sea
Waiting for a whale
To come and swallow me
The day is gone now
Still not swimming
Right at this moment
Am I where I need to be
Will I ever be there
[Chorus: Ryan Miller]
When everything I think I've seen
A dream impossible to dream
I'm seeing stars forever
In a starless heaven

[Bridge: Ryan Miller]
I'm going to the sea to settle down
I should before I sink into the ground
I'm going to the sea to settle down
I should before I sink into the ground

[Chorus: Ryan Miller]
'Cause everything I think I've seen
A dream impossible to dream
I'm seeing stars forever
In a starless heaven

[Outro: Ryan Miller]
I've been knocked down
I've lost my breath
I take a long look overhead
Where I'm seeing stars forever
In a starless heaven
