[Verse 1]
I lived my life alone before you
And with thoughts that I'd never succeed into love
And I grew so accustomed to that kind of solitude
Ah, 'fore you I did not know how to give it up

[Verse 2]
Before you, had I ever known love?
Or had I only known misuse
Of the power another had over me
The power another had over me

[Verse 3]
I cross the country and I carry no key
Couldn't I look up at the stars from anywhere?
Sometimes I did, I felt ancient
But still I sought peace and it never came to me

[Verse 4]
They'd often spoke as though I had been set free
But I traveled only in service of my dreams
I stood before them all, I was a sleepwalker

[Verse 5]
Couldn't hold my misery down, not even for you
It bore me on all the places I'd ever gone
And I grew so accustomed to that kind of solitude
But I long for you now, even when you just leave the room
[Verse 6]
Of all the roads and the cities that I've passed through
Of all of the eyes that I have searched inside
The one sense of permanence that came to feel was mine
Only beneath your gaze
