lyrics

It’s been such awhile since I’ve felt this way
I can feel myself lifted from my own body weight
It’s as if some less desired part has gone away
And I’m not missing it for I’m no longer my own prey
I’ve been resurrected or so I’ve led myself to believe
As I slowly feel my heart migrating back to my sleeve
Oh is this happiness or can I just no longer see?
For I’ve been finding myself in the clichés of philosophy

And to love and to be loved is all I ever wanted from you
To love and to be loved is the only thing that I now know how to do
Oh is it my imagination or am I in love with an emotion?
It’s such a strange sensation, but I think you’d second the notion

And surely I’m not the only one who’s ever been in this place
My feet are planted on the ground yet I’m floating in space
Oh if you could only see the internal display
You’d believe in the positive chemical affects on the brain
Or am I just dreaming? Is this reality?
Have I been asleep forever to just now be awakening?
Is there a power shift taking place inside of me?
As I await those simple words from you so patiently

Just to love and to be loved is all I ever wanted from you
To love and to be loved is the only thing that I now know how to do
Oh is it my imagination or am I in love with an emotion?
It’s such a strange sensation, but I think you’d second the notion
