i wake to remember
10 years gone past
adrift on the ocean
light's fading fast -
i spent some time in the desert
i spent time in the shade
spent time going over
the mistakes i made
i never thought i'd feel like a stranger
don't think me insincere
i never thought you one to surrender
and after all these years â i'm
lookin' for another sound â not another song
not making any more excuses â it was always wrong
overseeing his dominion
sits the king on high
win by attrition
rule by tradition
spent some time on the outside
that's the price i paid
it gave me time to consider
the mistakes i made
i never thought i'd feel like a stranger
don't think me insincere
i never thought you one to surrender
and after all these years â
i want to make this clear
when all is said and done â you see me standing here
no im not running away from you
let me make this clear
when its said and done â you see me standing here
you wont find me runnin' away from you
i tell myself to go
but my heart cant comply
oh i cant walk away
and i still wonder why
want to make this clear
when all is said and done â you see me standing here
no im not running away from you
let me make this clear
when its said and done â you see me standing here
you wont find me runnin' away from you
lookin' for another sound â not another song
not making any more excuses â it was always wrong see less
