Vertical Horizon
"Before The Letdown"

I ate up every word
And I was full and satisfied
You moved heaven into earth
And angels to the summer sky

I tore in to everyday
Like a gift beneath the Christmas tree
I just couldn’t wait
For anything you promise me

Like the sun
Like the moon
Like the lazy days just waking up right next to you
And falling back asleep again

Dreaming dreams
Wishing stars
Getting lost in love
And loving everywhere we are

Floating in that place
Everything is great before the let down

I wasn’t looking in the shadows
Too busy living in the light
I don’t care which way the wind blows
As long as the breeze feels right

But you left me in the dark
And it’s been hard finding my way back
The more we drift apart
The more I miss the things we’ll never have

Like the sun
Like the moon
Like the lazy days just waking up right next to you
And falling back asleep again

Dreaming dreams
Wishing stars
Getting lost in love
And loving everywhere we are

Floating in that place
Everything is great before the let down

The candles have burned away
Faded to yesterday
I wanted them to stay

Like the sun
Like the moon
Like the lazy days just waking up right next to you
And falling back asleep again

Dreaming dreams
Wishing stars
Getting lost in love
And loving everywhere we are

Floating in that place
Everything looks great
When you’re floating in that place
Everything is great before you let me down
