Lyrics
Oh, how is it that I could come out to here and be still floatin'
And never hit bottom and keep falling through, just relaxed and paying attention?
All my two-dimensional boundaries were gone, I had lost to them badly
I saw that world crumble and thought I was dead, but I found my senses still working
And as I continued to drop through the hole, I found all surrounding
To show me that joy innocently is just be quiet and feel it around you
And I opened my heart to the whole, universe and I found it was loving
And I saw the great blunder my teachers had made, scientifically real madness
Oh, I will keep falling as long as I live, ah, without ending
And I will remember the place that is now that has ended before the beginning
Oh, how is it that I could come out to here and be still floatin'
And never hit bottom and keep falling through, just relaxed and paying attention?
