Before You Came Lyrics by Autoheart

I Can Build a Fire

2016

[Verse 1]
A white light continues
To shine bright within you
If I could, then I would
Do anything to make good
Two black eyes dilated
Ecstatic, elated
Something strange is happening
No longer the lonely
I don't care if you control me
Such relief in letting go
[Chorus]
Did you know before you came?
I didn't have it in me when I needed to be strong
I wasn't happy in myself to remedy the wrong
On the day before you came
Every view I ever saw was never good enough
And there was little in my life that I was proud of
[Verse 2]
Skyscrapers, we walk by
Put up our hands to the sky
Hopeful opportunities
On a rickshaw in Soho
Happiness from the get-go
Thinking big and acting small
A big storm is brewing
But we'll be pursuing
Whatever keeps us alive
It don't hurt in my head
No more shapes, no more dread
I can count on you, you
[Chorus]
Did you know before you came?
I didn't have it in me when I needed to be strong
Wasn't happy in myself to remedy the wrong
On the day before you came
Every view I ever saw was never good enough
There was little in my life that I was proud of
Did you know before you came?
I was selfish, I was horrible most of the time
I was thinking of myself, ignoring all the signs
On the day before you came
My priorities were muddled and I didn't care
I didn't care
[Bridge]
I feel as if I've run a million miles
A million miles and I finally found you
I feel as if I've run a million miles
A million miles and I finally found you
(Before you)
I feel as if I've run a million miles
(Before you)
A million miles and I finally found you
(Before you)
I feel as if I've run a million miles
(Before you)
A million miles and I finally found you
(Before you)
[Chorus]
Did you know before you came?
I didn't have it in me when I needed to be strong
Wasn't happy in myself to remedy the wrong
On the day before you came
Every view I ever saw was never good enough
And there was little in my life that I was proud of
Did you know before you came?
[Outro]
A million miles and I finally
A million miles and I finally
(Before you came)
(Before you came)
(A million miles and I finally)
A million miles and I finally found you
