 I wonder how I ever made it through a day
 How did I settle¹ for a world in shades of gray
 When you go in circles all the scenery² looks the same
 And you don't know why
 Then I looked into your eyes
 Where the road stretched out in front of me,
 And I realize
 I never lived before your love
 I never felt before your touch
 I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
 But then again I wasn't really living
 I never lived before your love
 I wanted more than just an ordinary life
 All of my dreams seemed like castles in the sky
 I stand before you and my heart is in your hands
 And I don't know how
 I survived without your kiss
 Cause you're giving me a reason to exist
 I never lived before your love
 I never felt before your touch
 I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
 But then again I wasn't really living
 I never lived before your love
 I never lived before your love
 And I don't know why
 Why the sun decides to shine
 But you breathed your love into me just in time
 I never lived before your love
 I never felt before your touch
 I never needed anyone to make me feel alive
 But then again I wasn't really living
 I never lived
 I never lived before your love
