When the world has fallen out from under me
I'll be found in you, still standin'

Brooke Fraser has been influenced greatly by the writings of C.S. Lewis (obviously). This song is about his book 'The Great Divorce' (definitely worth a look. It's short and easy to read).

That's what Brooke is talking about when she says "There's distraction buzzing in my head, saying in the Shadows it's easier to stay."
