This is no ordinary, rational feeling
I am overtaken by a panic and run, I
have fallen by the wayside many times before
and I have learned to use this love as a weapon
I am caught up by the common as usual
I have nearly followed til my spirit was numb, I
continue the ascent of never-ending
collecting all but things that matter the most.
But You re not what I thought when I saw you
I have been running for so long and so far
I haven t got what I thought I would find
To fill the empty up
But You re not what I thought
No You re not what I thought
There is a manner I have quietly tucked away
Yet it is fighting for a place at the top, I
Am dying to believe Im big enough to try
But it s a battle I am losing alone
But Youre not what I thought when I saw you
I have been running for so long and so far
(...)
Oh, oh oh, You re uncovering
What I was missing all along
Oh, oh oh, I m giving everything
For the war, for the war is won
For the war is won
