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
