Lost

I have been here

And I have waited

You have been there

And you have tasted

The poisons flooding through us

The dreams that surround us

And here, we are

 

Lost

In the sea of the common day

In the dreams of our common ways

We found everything we ever dreamed

 

And here we are

Everything, in your eyes I could be

Please let me

And here we are

Anything you want me to be

Please take me

 

Cold the nights alone

Without your eyes in mine

I can’t see anything

I can’t feel anything

I can’t taste anything

It’s all so wrong

But in your arms

I am everything

Everything I have ever wanted to be

 

I dreamed you

For so long before I knew you

I missed you

For so long before I knew you

 

Lost

In the waves of your heart

Feel them crashing against these walls

But they can’t hold us
