Never felt alone ′til the late night
Never knew she was my home 'til the tears dried
Working on the karma, but it takes time
Innocence and sadness was a fine line

Better savour every moment as it flies by
Every minute, boy, better live it, boy
Maybe someday you′ll be happy for me, oh, I
Every minute, boy, steady rhythm joy

The reason I stay, well, I need you today
Baby, I would bleed in your name
I'm trying to be who you need me to be

I would have waited for you all night to talk for a minute
I'll sing into the cold dark night ′til you listen
People spend their life heads down, souls hidden
I′m trying to be who you need me to be, well

Never felt alone 'til the late night
Never knew she was my home ′til the king cried
Lost inside the forest, but it feels fine
Innocence and sadness in the same night

All the love that just got stolen from your wide eyes
Every minute, boy, better live it, boy
Let your tears erode my shoulder like a cliff side
Heavy minutes, boy, steady rhythm, joy

The reason I stay, well, I need you today
Baby, I would bleed in your name
I'm trying to be who you need me to be

I would have waited for you all night to talk for a minute
I′ll sing into the cold dark night, you listen
Some people spend their life heads down, souls hidden
I'm trying to be who you need me to be

I′d do anything for smiles, I'd move heaven and earth
Nobody told me at the start how heaven can hurt
I'll be waiting under streetlight at Bowery and third
Know I was waiting on ya, know I was waiting on ya

Darling, don′t spend another second wondering what you′re worth
Don't you ever get affected by the ways of this world
Wouldn′t say my soul's protected, but there′s something at work
I was waiting on ya, know I was waiting on ya

Better savour every moment as it flies by
Every minute, boy, better live it, boy
Return me safely, turn me homeward at the right time
Every minute, boy, steady rhythm, joy

Better savour every moment as it flies by
Every minute, boy, better live it, boy
Return me safely, turn me homeward at the right time
Heavy minutes, boy, steady rhythm, joy

Never knew she was my home 'til the tears dried

verse

Better savour every moment as it flies by

Maybe someday you'll be happy for me, oh, I

The reason I stay, well, I need you today

pre-chorus

I would have waited for you all night to talk for a minute

I'll sing into the cold dark night 'til you listen

People spend their life heads down, souls hidden

I'm trying to be who you need me to be, well

chorus

Never knew she was my home 'til the king cried

Lost inside the forest, but it feels fine

All the love that just got stolen from your wide eyes

Let your tears erode my shoulder like a cliff side

I'll sing into the cold dark night, you listen

Some people spend their life heads down, souls hidden

I'd do anything for smiles, I'd move heaven and earth

Nobody told me at the start how heaven can hurt

I'll be waiting under streetlight at Bowery and third

Know I was waiting on ya, know I was waiting on ya

Darling, don't spend another second wondering what you're worth

Don't you ever get affected by the ways of this world

Wouldn't say my soul's protected, but there's something at work

I was waiting on ya, know I was waiting on ya

Return me safely, turn me homeward at the right time
