Anything but Me

I am just a satellite, high above the atmosphere

Bouncing every thing you say to someone who is meant to hear

Sometimes on a rainy day, I lie in bed and dream of you

So blame it on the satellite, when your message can't get through

I am just a tiny wave, a minor ripple out at sea

Moving slowly towards the shore, burdened with uncertainty

I'm gaining power, losing speed, wondering as I near your door

Will you hold it open for the tidal wave approaching shore?

You've become an island in the hazy world surrounding me

Offering a vast reward each time I safely cross the sea

All too often I become lost in the fog and haze

Clinging still, against my will, to promises of clearer days

I am just a raindrop that accelerates without control

Losing bits and pieces in descent 'til I'm no longer whole

I am just another shooting star above that you might see

Until I have your full attention I'll be anything but me

Anything but me
