INTRO:
at midnight, i lay awake pondering about the lives that could've been mine
had god not settled my fate in place for me
how many lives could i have lived?
VERSE ONE:
i worship the stars, i've wandered from afar
in wonder of why home is so craved for when it's in another soul
i'm sitting beneath the trees again
this loneliness, no one will understand
i'm drinking my poison again
this loveliness, escaping from my hands
PRE-CHORUS ONE:
if i had a home, where is it now?
if i held secrets, who let them out?
if i held my tongue, why was i found out?
if i thought i could rise above, why am i still on the ground?
CHORUS:
i want to know who i was before the flowers dried up from the droughts
i want to know who you were before the world told you what you were not
i want to know where i went wrong,
when chasing wanderlust,
through morning fog
VERSE TWO:
when i first awoke, it took me back in time
to an unsuspecting child, with a movie in her mind
so black and white, it blurred the lines
static all day and night
PRE-CHORUS TWO:
if i lived in a world that isn't mine
i'd never make it in time
if i could've spoken louder, i'd have been heard
if i'd knocked harder, the door would have been answered
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
i used to be scared of swinging high
wonder what i would do if
stayed true to my word
like it could be done by no other
i used to run fast to catch the sun
now i wonder if i'm the only one who does
(CHORUS)
OUTRO:
at midnight, i lay awake pondering about the lives that could've been mine
had god not settled my fate in place for me
how many lives could i have lived?
