I lived my life alone before you
And with those that I'd never succeed into love
And I grew so accustomed to that kind of solitude
Ah, for you I did not know how to give it up
Before you, had I ever known love
Or had I only not miss you, so the power another had over me
The power another had over me

I'd cross the country and I'd carry no key
Couldn't I look up at the stars from anywhere?
And sometimes I did, I felt ancient
But still I saw peace, and it never came to me
They often spoke as though I had been set free
But I traveled only service of my dreams
I stood before them all, I was a sleepwalker

Couldn't hold my misery down
Not even for you
Bow me on all the places I've ever gone
And I grew so accustomed to that kind of solitude
With that long for you now
Even when you just leave the room

And all of the roads and the cities that I past through
And all the eyes I have searched inside
The one sense of permanence that I came to feel
Was mine only would need
Your gaze
