The Notion
(John Faye)

Can I tell you something I've been holding in
'Cause I got way too much on my mind
Keeping safe the secrets underneath my skin
But eyes don't lie
People everywhere know it's all up in the air
Does it seem so impossible
You know that anything is possible

If running away is part of the notion
Then what can I say I'm making it mine
I'll ride a wave right into your ocean
And drowning's just a matter of time

Can I tell you something that's been sinking in
Between the cracks of wondering why
My lot in life is to begin again
Hello, goodbye
People come and go and it's all I'll ever know
Is it so inconceivable
You know you make it so believable

If running away is part of the notion
Then what can I say I'm making it mine
We'll ride a wave of super emotion tonight
And drowning's just a matter of time
Yeah drowning's just a matter of time

So we stare up at the stars
Well unaware of where we are
And share the silence 'til there's nothing left to say
Just in case you all forgot me
I was trapped inside the body
Of the one that got away

And now and then I get a great notion
And drowning's just a matter of time
Drowning's just a matter of time
Yeah drowning's just a matter of time
