lyrics

Never knew that I would be so alone
Never knew that life would move slow slow
and that I would grow so old

Never knew that I was a wandering soul
Till I packed my bags hit the road
Looking for a place called home

See, I ain’t felt nothing for the last while
I’ve got thick skin and dark memories of when I was a child
And I’ve got these walls I need to break down
I just need someone to come and teach me how

Rise me up
I wanna feel your love
I wanna know that life ain’t over baby
Rise me up
I wanna feel your love
I wanna know that this is just the beginning

Never knew that times would be so rough
and that I’d be on the cusp
of asking for forgiveness baby

Never knew that I would be so confused
Indecisive cannot choose
I’m just trying to break loose

See, I ain’t felt nothing for the last while
I’ve got thick skin and dark memories of when I was a child
And I’ve got these walls I need to break down
I just need someone to come and teach me how

Rise me up
I wanna feel your love
I wanna know that life ain’t over baby
Rise me up
I wanna feel your love
I wanna know that this is just the beginning

Relying on animal instincts to make me a man
It won’t be long till I find out who I am

Rise me up
I wanna feel your love
I wanna know that life ain’t over baby
Rise me up
I wanna feel your love
I wanna know that this is just the beginning
