V1: I wandered alone
Searching for a dream
As the tide rolled in
It brought a memory
I can’t comprehend
All the places I’ve been
I’m growing so old
I’ve got a eulogy
V2: When I saw you
Everything changed
My numbness did fade
I could feel again
If just for a moment
Things ended too soon
All that’s left is a bruise
That only time can mend
Chorus: I wanna be the kiss of life that sets you free from pain
I wanna be the kiss of love that makes you feel again
V3: I sought you out
To learn the lies we were told
I gave you my truth
You would’ve never known
In my search for answers
I found it all
Everything that I’d wanted
But was never shown
V4: But you were too broken
So downright abused
I had to pay
For things I didn’t do
And now I’m swimming in circles
Between hopeful and doubt
But as much as I drown
I won’t accept the help
Bridge: And if you’d only open wide
You’d see all the signs
That brought us here
Let’s disappear
I want you for the rest of my life
The rest of my life
