I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
⋯⋯Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
All I want to do is find a way back into [the awareness of] love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine [and now I know it is just not the time for them to shine]
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs [and how could I remain my awareness of what I want when I am totally in searching]
I know that it's out there [but actually they are here]
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere [there's indeed everything for me wherever I am]
I've been looking for someone to shed some light [and actually I myself can shed it]
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end [I know I will always be here with me whether the end comes or not]
There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration [and I always have inspiration]
Not just another negotiation [as long as I let go off my negotiation]
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you [and to myself]
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do [I'm wodering what I will know to do]
And if you help me to start again [and if I can help myself to start again]
You know that I'll be there for you in the end
