Before You Came - Autoheart

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

Something strange 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

I 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?

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

There was little in my life that I was proud of

Did you know before you came?

I was selfish, I was horrible most of the time

I was thinking of myself, ignoring all the signs

On the day before you came

My priorities were muddled and I didn’t care

I didn’t care

I feel as if I’ve run a million miles

A million miles and I finally found you

I feel as if I’ve run a million miles

A million miles and I finally found you

(Before you)

I feel as if I’ve run a million miles

(Before you)

A million miles and I finally found you

(Before you)

I feel as if I’ve run a million miles

(Before you)

A million miles and I finally found you

(Before you)

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

Did you know before you came?

A million miles and I finally

A million miles and I finally

(Before you came)

(Before you came)

(A million miles and I finally)

A million miles and I finally found you
