Something in the air

There is something in the air
And everyone's aware that there is something in the air
And everything's apparently renewed within my eyes, cast off their disguise,
stripped of their defense and making perfect sense
And there is something I must say
Every little movement you make carries me away
And every time I think of it revives me for a while, and I begin to smile,
I've something more to say, as I begin to play
Today it felt like Saturday
Today I saw a child at play
I saw a woman smile at me
And walk the road in front of me
I didn't find a tragedy
Or criticize how blind I'd be
I simply smiled and looked around
and I knew in that moment that the world goes round and round
casting shadows on the ground
stealing visions from our eyes
masking treasures in disguise
simple songs cry out each day
while sunny skies they light the way
and we see it in the children's eyes
and we hear it in their lullabies
that the world is just the same
as we wake up each day and we do it all again
And you said "oh, hold me through the night"
"promise me dear that it'll be alright"
cause tonight the clouds will cover us
the sound they play is thunderous
but storms they bring will wash away
the dust that builds up every day
and when it's done the sun will shine
and we'll wash away the sleepiness from the skies
And then you'll see that there is something in the air
And everyone's aware that there is something in the air
And everything's apparently renewed within my eyes, cast off their disguise,
stripped of their defense and making perfect sense
And there is something I must say
Every little movement you make carries me away
And every time I think of it revives me for a while, and I begin to smile,
I've nothing more to say, you carry me away.
