LYRICS
I wonder how
I ever made it through a day
How did I settle for the world
In shades of gray
When you go in circles
All the scenery looks the same
And you don’t know why (don’t know why)
And I looked into your eyes
Where the road stretched out
In front of me and I realized
I’d never lived before your love
I’d never felt before your touch
And I’d never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again I wasn’t really living
I’d never lived before your love
I wanted more than just an ordinary life
All of my dreams
Seemed like castles in the sky
I stand before you
And my heart is in your hands
And I don’t know how (don’t know how)
I’d survive without your kiss
Cause you’ve given me a reason to exist
I’d never lived before your love
I’d never felt before your touch
And I’d never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again I wasn’t really living
I’d never lived before your love
I’d never lived before your love
And I don’t know why (why)
Why the sun decides to shine
But you’ve breathed your love
Into me just in time
I’d never lived before your love
I’d never felt before your touch
And I’d never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again I wasn’t really living
I’d never lived before your love
