about

It's about leaving your home town, and all the rollercoaster of emotions around it: fear, excitement, sadness, wonder. An example of life imitating art, a couple years after the song was written I did uproot to a far away new city.

-Tom

lyrics

Open my eye and what do I see
I melt with the sky, I’m part of the trees
Falling in love with the air that I breathe,
grow in the dirt a heart I will beat

The sound of the her voice unfolds in my dreams
I’m careful to touch and yet stay asleep
Around the fire, recounted stories
The waters of time flow into the sea

A wave of emotion, out on the planet
A wave of emotion

Open my door and what do I see
A fracturing town, blood on the street
Out in the cold and not up to speed
I know it’s my home when I start to leave

A wave of emotion, out on the planet
A wave of emotion, a wave of emotion

Shadows and light dance around
Ecstasy builds and tears me down
The love and the fear make a sound
I wait for that voice to call me out

A wave of emotion out on the planet.
