Instead Of... Songtext

von Nits

Tell me is it far to the planet of Mars
Can we go there jumping from star to star
Should I live my life in dreams
Should I write your name in cream
Can we get there, I don't know
But
I see your face up in the moon
I see your eyes in the lights of June
My skies are green, the grass is blue
I'm pretty normal just like you
You

Instead of... fishing:
Sitting in a boat
Staring at the float going up and down

Day after day
Instead of... watching:
Watching the news
With the Saddam Husseins of the world
Every night the same

We've gone astray
Should I whisper, should I scream
Or should I lift you up in steam
When we'll get there, I don't know
But
I see your face up in the moon
I see your eyes in the lights of June
The skies are green, the grass is blue
I'm pretty normal just like you

Do you hear the distance smile
I guess we're gone a long long time
'cause
I see your face up in the moon
I see your eyes in the lights of June
The skies are green, the grass is blue
Instead of me there's only you
You
You
