Lyrics

Verse 1:
Through all the things I never said and did
Through memories and passageways I'd long since hid
One ordinary life is somehow changed
I can't explain

For all the wounds the longing scars and pain
There's a picture of a broken dream somehow re-framed
One ordinary life somehow exchanged
I'm born again
Don't understand

Chours:
It should've been me left standin' out in the pourin' rain
All of my hopes and dreams burned up in a burst of flames
And it should have been a once in a lifetime
I'm still here wondering why
And here you come again

Verse 2:
Now looking back through time and space and dreams
The image of your love and grace I've often seen
And knowing now what I could not know then
This was your plan

And still somtimes I bow my head in shame
Desperate in my longing just to speak your name
And finally øI'm resolved to simply trust you
And here you come again
I just don't understand

Chours:
It could've been me left out there wandering aimlessly
Running here running there with no place to be
And I should've been a one-hit wonder
15 minutes of fame
With nothin' gained and nothin' left to lose
My only chance was you
And here you come again
