R.E.M.
While you were sleeping
I saw the world stretched out before me.
With colors so bright they would have hurt your eyes.
I’m sure what I felt in my soul would have torn your chest to shreds.
I moved at breakneck speeds that would have slowed had you been there.
Seven hours of freedom.
Let’s fly.
Or rather,
let me fly,
you stay here.
