[Verse 1]

I was speaking to myself again just yesterday

Walking where the fen will meet the tide

Just saying that I haven't met a soul out here for years

And how it is I'm not sure that I mind


[Chorus 1]

And I'm gonna throw my arms around the world someday

Surrender this weight into the sky

I haven't ever, I haven't ever made it through the night

Without first getting kissed by celestial light


[Verse 2]

I was walking by myself again just yesterday

Wandering through the back roads of my mind

Just saying that I haven't met a soul out here for years

And all at once the sky began to shine


[Bridge]

And the landscape is seeking a language between us, wherever I go

And the joy beyond reach is a place I can seek what it is I know

I haven't ever, I really never made it through the night

Without first getting kissed by celestial light


[Chorus 2]

And I'm gonna throw my arms around the world again

Surrender this weight into the ground

I haven't ever, I haven't ever made it through the night

Without first getting kissed by celestial light

Without first getting kissed by celestial light


[Bridge]

And the landscape is speaking a language between us wherever I go

And the joy beyond reach is a place I can't speak of what it is I know

I hope you never, I hope you'll never make it through the night

Without first getting kissed by celestial light


[Outro]

Without first getting kissed

Without first getting kissed

Without first getting kissed by celestial light
