I've been feeling alright
under this dawn's early light
despite the fact that I've got nothing good
left to say.
You see the words won't come out.
I follow that with my doubt
and then play it off in a casual
sort of way.
It's true, I know.
I'm tearing at the seams
it seems something is going wrong.

I've been having this dream.
A fear, it's unsettling.
So I'm calling up my friend the second I'm awake.
I say "I'm running a race, and after I break away
I turn around, I'm all alone. I fear I've made a mistake."
He says "I know, I'm playing second string
to who I was but at least you gave it all a go,
you know?"

I was looking for love.
You thought it passed you by
standing out on a bridge.
No reason why.
It's true I can't find my way
but I've got you.

So I'm fighting two sides of me.
There's one that wants to give her everything,
but I get nervous and I fall apart
every time I let her in.
You gotta learn to trust somebody.
God, I want to so badly,
but I'm too scared of being left behind.
So now I'm back where I began.
It's sad, I know,
they say that sometimes the ones you love
are gonna let you down.

I was looking for love.
You thought it passed you by
standing out on a bridge.
No reason why.
It's true I can't find my way
but I've got you.

Cover up your eyes,
cover your head
because a storm is coming through
to rattle us.
I look to my father
I ask him when I got behind
and if his grace would catch us up.
I've got you,
and you've got me too.


I was looking for love.
You thought it passed you by
standing out on a bridge.
No reason why.
It's true I can't find my way
but I've got you.
