It's taken me all this time to see the sun
It's taken me all these roads to learn how to run
After the rain has washed away the stuff I thought I knew
All that's left of me is you
I've been sweeping around this room with a fine tooth broom
Still don't have a clue
I've been searching for signs of life
But nothing's coming through
I've been flipping through pages full of golden rules
A wealth of tiny truths
Tripping over the same old things I thought I'd long since moved
I believe in the helping hand, my fellow man
The fail-safe ?love thy neighbor plan?
The promise, the creed, the other cheek, so help me
I need to get to you
It's taken me all this time to see the sun
It's taken me all these roads to learn how to run
After the rain has washed away the stuff I thought I knew
All that's left of me is you
You've been paving the way, making it straight
The path has been cleared
I've been a little hesitant
But you still find me here
You've been flooding my thoughts, now I'm breaking the locks
Making my way through
I can see to the other side, I'm so glad it's you
I believe in the one about reaching out, living loud, and all my doubts
I believe in what I can't do and I believe, I believe in you
It's taken me all this time to see the sun
It's taken me all these roads to learn how to run
After the rain has washed away the rust and residue
All that's left of me is you
I believe I can overcome the things that have been left undone
I believe I have a place to go
Somehow I know I will get to you
