It hasn't been too long
since I've been following the sun,
crossing streets with my eyes closed,
swimming the river alone. And I knew
how you felt
when you saw me dive in.
But what could I do?
I had my heart
set on it.
Some people have
a way
of searching for their end.
And most don't even know
they're looking for it.
Late in the night,
we'll pass each other by,
see each other for a moment
but it's only borrowed light.
And all I see is
distance.
And all I can feel is where
my heart is.
If you only knew
how hard it is,
I'd find my way home
through all of this.
One day you'll understand
when you swim the way I've gone.
You'll fill the streets with flowers.
You'll wake up with the sun.
And then you'll know
how I felt
when you saw me diving in.
I was looking for the dark.
I was trying to forget.
Cuz all I see is
distance.
And all I can feel is where
my heart is.
If you only knew
how hard it is,
I'd find my way home
through all of this.
