Astonish me

Could you explain to a simple man
Why you always have to back away
When something in your eyes
Is asking me to make you stay

Let's say we're lost in a sudden storm
And settle down into the night
We're still a universe away
But it's alright

When we connect with a lightning look
It's frightening strong
I can almost feel us falling
Love is awake and it says
We're circling far too long

Get off that air of mystery
Reach down into your silence
And astonish me
Astonish me

Get off that forlorn majesty
Come down into this current
And astonish me
Astonish me
