Lyrics
Thought I had it all figured out, I had a compass and a map in my hand
Thought I knew what it was all about, But I guess I didn’t understand
But you, you shined a light so I could see
You, you could be with me
How do you tear down the walls of all these years? Stand face to face with your fears
How do you even start? How do you break her heart?
But you, you make me know what I should do
You, you should do it, too
And maybe someday we will turn around
And know we’re all OK
Until then we’ll have to come to terms
With all we threw away, ooooh
So who’s got the answer key? And where do we go from here?
Seems nothing’s as it used to be, Suddenly nothing’s clear
But you, you shined a light so I could see
You, you could be with me, ooooh
