Off-Screen Songtext

von Kevin Devine

I saw you
I saw you
Did you see me?
I was off screen
Off screen

From there I
From there I
Saw the flood rise
In my daydream
Daydream

With my dead eye
With my dead eye
Watched for vultures
By the road side
Road side

The sun spoke
(It said my name)
The sun spoke
(It said my name)
I answered
"Good morning.
Are you alright?
Are you alright?

Cuz I can't see you now
So I've stopped looking out."
The dread collects in clouds
Drifting onscreen
Towards us onscreen

And I can't see you now
So I stopped looking out
Imagine my surprise
When you became my eyes
And overwhelmed the sky
Now the ground's hot
And the earth's dry
Here's your answer
Here's your big bright
Here's your leased life
Here's your white knight
Here's your alright
Here's your alright
