Reach Me
Blues Traveler Lyrics

Moonlight's in her eyes and I can't see three feet in front of me And its the middle of the day
Despite the brightness of the sun, the light in her eyes has blinded me, making it difficult for me to see.

Herculean tasks they come and go so easily When her rods and her cones play
When I'm around her, even the hardest tasks seem easy because her presence is comforting.

White bluely bathed in Elysian fields they run And I don't care what time it is I'd throw my watch away if I could hold the lunar surface With the flicker of light that she witnesses
The way she looks in this beautiful natural setting is so mesmerizing that I lose track of time. I'd trade anything to experience what she sees with her own eyes.

And if I'm reaching you Don't you feel guilty And there's nothing to do And you can only help me And I may never learn But you can only teach me I'm not sure where you're trying to go All I'm saying is that you reach me
When I try to communicate with you, don't feel burdened because there's nothing to solve. You can only help me and perhaps teach me a thing or two. I'm not exactly sure what you're after, but all I know is that you have an impact on me.

Some see the forest for the trees to avoid the trouble Trouble might be what I'm looking for Or surely I'd about-face and on the double But it just doesn't work anymore
Others might look for the bigger picture, but I seek out trouble because it's what excites me. Although I used to be able to turn away quickly, I find it harder now.

No longer up to me a compass leads the way Restless evening spirit unwilling to cease Responsible for what the Ouija board might say Although it's my finger that moves the piece
I no longer have control over my direction in life; I rely on outside forces to guide me. I'm anxious and unable to rest, even though I know I'm ultimately in charge of my decisions and outcomes.

I lash myself at the helm as my ship sails her reef A violent storm is all around me But before me only calm and welcome waters As if at last she finally found me Yeah yeah yeah yeah
While chaos surrounds me, I hold tight to the steering wheel, trying to navigate the storm. But ahead of me is a sense of peace that I haven't felt in a long time, almost as if being near her has brought me clarity and safety.

The wind chimes and you're mine a thousand times Until my rhymes and other crimes have aged like wine You are sublime, so fine You reach me You reach me
The soft sound of the wind chimes reminds me of her, and even as time passes, the way I feel about her only grows stronger. She's perfect in every way and has a profound impact on me.

And I may never learn But you can only teach me I'm not sure where you're trying to go All I'm saying is that you reach me
Despite my lack of understanding, I'm open to whatever teachings she has to offer. I'm not sure what her endgame is, but her impact on me is undeniable.
