Before You Came

A white light continues To shine bright within you If I could, then I would Do anything to make good Two black eyes dilated Ecstatic, elated Somethings change is happening No longer the lonely I don't care if you control me Such relief in letting go Did you know before you came? I didn't have it in me when I needed to be strong Wasn't happy in myself to remedy the wrong On the day before you came Every view I ever saw was never good enough And there was little in my life that I was proud of Skyscrapers, we walk by Put up our hands to the sky Hopeful opportunities On a rickshaw in Soho Happiness from the get-go Thinking big and acting small A big storm is brewing But we'll be pursuing Whatever keeps us alive It don't hurt in my head No more shapes, no more dread I can count on you, you Did you know before you came?

(Before you) I didn't have it in me when I needed to be strong Wasn't happy in myself to remedy the wrong On the day before you came (before you) Every view I ever saw was never good enough And there was little in my life that I was proud of Did you (before you came) know before you came? (Before you came) A million miles and I finally A million miles and I finally (before you) Before you came, before you came (before you) A million miles and I finally A million miles and I finally found you
