"The Element" lyrics

There's a message where
You had wanted to be loved
There's a message there
Though you don't know what it was

Stop and run it back again
You and I'd be honest
Stop and run it back again
You and I'd be honest

And when you go home tonight
Pray the train's on time
The closing of one line
The start of another
And when everything goes right
Know that it's for life
The element unwinds
I'll never recover

It is in the air
All the skin of us is dust
I can barely breathe in here
But it's you I sense
It's you I wanted

On and on and on it's passing by
Through the rolling yellow lights
And I'm deep inside your mind
Walk your streets and read your signs

When you go home tonight
Pray the train's on time
The closing of one line
The start of another
And when everything goes right
You and me for life
The element unwinds
I'll never recover

I'll never recover
