If I don't kid myself today
If I don't care about a thing
Would I be light enough to fly
And if I just rid myself
The weight of memories and doubts
Would I be light enough to fly

If the world was flat would you jump off
I think I'd float down like a feather
She lights the stars in the sky
You know, angels can see them clear
Through foul weather

And when the race ends
Will we all fall down
Safe and sound

30 days

As she wakes up
And I'm caught staring again
She asks me
"What did you dream?"

I haven't stopped and isn't this part of it
As we lay rivers where once were streams

And when the race ends
Will we all fall down
Safe and sound

If we lost our way
Would we trade it now
For the way we found
The ground
And how

30 days
30 days
Without the sun
30 days
30 days
Just a little scared of what we might become
And we're home when we're together
Home when we're together
We are home when we're together
Home when we're together
30 days
30 days

    General Comment:parts of it seem like its about getting serious with an ex that was never serious before, "laying rivers where once were streams". and it wouldnt hurt because its worth a try, "if we lost our way would we trade it now for the way we found the ground"? would you let the risk of losing your way keep you from finding the ground?

    it also seems like they only have 30 days together for whatever reason, came back together before one moves or one already moved and came back for a little bit, but either way theyre afraid they could become close and make leaving harder. but if he "doesn't kid himself and doesnt care about a thing", he could fly or be happy for even those 30 days

    General Comment:I'm really suprised that people would interpret "she wakes up, and I'm caught staring again" to be touching himself. To me, he can't take his eyes off of her, because she's so beautiful. Way to ruin a great line guys. ;)

    Anyway yeah, this song is incredible

    General Comment:i don't think so either. he was watching her sleep. it says "caught me staring" not "caught me whacking."

    General Comment:This has to be one JCS greatest songs... i dont think hes playing with himself at that point. i think she wakes up to find him staring at her. if you do not have this song downloaded i really recommend it.

    General Comment:heh...i really doubt that he's playin with himself right there, that line is to me is like waking up beside her and just...looking at her, like, you can't help but stare at her because she's so beautiful. this song is just awesome, the perfect description of being in love, and questioning what's to come.

    General Comment:the verse where she wakes up and he's "caught starin' again".. do you think he was playing with himself by any chance?
