Out in the Way

I think it's about a guy whose longing for someone, but he can only be with them in his dreams. He's nagged by this feeling that his life is just passing him by while he's wrapped up in a fantasy.

In the darkness passing through, tell me is it really you, you don't look the same as when I was dreaming.

This song gives me flashbacks of my childhood

I think these lyrics are more accurate;

Are you waking me up now? I was falling headfirst 'gainst the waves It was in you that I could work around..??

I'm on an island, I'm so free Then it just keeps reminding me All of these moments quickly passing me by

In the darkness passing through Tell me is it really you? You don't look the same as when I was dreaming Even though it's not much time I can't get it off my mind Everything feels different now here without you

Even though it's not much time I can't get it off my mind Everything feels different now here without you

Out in the way Out in the way It was in you that I could work around..??

I don't think they're saying "It was in you that I could work around" in the first verse and the outro. That doesn't sound right, or make much sense.

Great song, though!
