Phases Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come, take a ride, we can leave right now
To a place that no one has found
And the feelings coming through
Taking over me
Try and say my name
But the words don't speak
Lose ourselves in times so sweet
When it's over, will I know?
I can't let it go
When it's over, will I break the spell?
Oh, oh
This is something else
I can see outside myself
I've never been so wrong
How could I have been so strong?
This is something else
A new illusion
A new illusion
Illusion
Took me by the hand and you held it tight
Warm into the glow of electric light
Found ourselves at such great heights
So
If I'm dreaming, you're the reason
Never wake me up
Oh, oh
This is something else
I can see outside myself
I've never been so wrong
How could I have been so strong?
This is something else
A new illusion
A new illusion
Illusion
When it's over, will I know?
I can't let it go
When it's over, will I break the spell?
Oh, oh
This is something else
I can see outside myself
I've never been so wrong
How could I have been so strong?
This is something else
A new illusion
Illusion
A new illusion
Illusion
A new illusion
Illusion
A new illusion
Illusion
A new illusion

They are in awe of the power of the experience and of their companion, who holds them tightly and makes them feel like they're soaring.
