I wake to remember 10 years gone past Adrift on the ocean Light's fading fast - I spent some time in the desert I spent time in the shade Spent time going over The mistakes i made I never thought i'd feel like a stranger Don't think me insincere I never thought you one to surrender And after all these years – i'm Lookin' for another sound – not another song Not making any more excuses – it was always wrong Overseeing his dominion Sits the king on high Win by attrition Rule by tradition Spent some time on the outside That's the price i paid It gave me time to consider The mistakes i made I never thought i'd feel like a stranger Don't think me insincere I never thought you one to surrender And after all these years – I want to make this clear When all is said and done – you see me standing here No im not running away from you Let me make this clear When its said and done – you see me standing here You wont find me runnin' away from you I tell myself to go But my heart cant comply Oh i cant walk away And i still wonder why Want to make this clear When all is said and done – you see me standing here No im not running away from you Let me make this clear When its said and done – you see me standing here You wont find me runnin' away from you Lookin' for another sound – not another song Not making any more excuses – it was always wrong see less
