Today i'm afraid and i don't know why
i keep thinking of that look in your eye
we've never met except here in this room
in the place being filled by the sonic boom
sometimes i get too close to the sound

i want to make something you like
i want to make something you don't
i want to sing a song you'll hear
i want to sing a song you won't
sometimes i get too close to the ground

sonic boom...sonic boom

there are so many things i can't change
so many things i can
so many times i wake up
lucky to be & luck in hand
i lie in the place just after the dream
trying to pull my mind from the seam
sometimes i get too close to see

a moonlight drive on a temple lane
waiting for visions beyond the range
sometimes i wait so long
why do i wait? why don't i feel at home?
sometimes i get too close to go home

sonic boom...sonic boom

the sound of a heartbeat gives me hope
from way down within
for the water & the trees & the land & the fire
& our precious oxygen
sometimes i get too close to the sound
sometimes i get too close to the sound

sonic boom... sonic boom... sonic boom
