I followed ocean trails to find you here Back where I started from I followed useless kisses on the way Worried 'bout all the light that she shines when she comes And then I found everything to be so confused Oh, yes, but I was tryin' And then I found there's a pain that you can't hide If you worry about every new thing that happens in life "Now, won't you please put some fire in your eyes?" She says while she was drying hers "Oh, won't you please take that fire in your hands?" I was jealous of all the skies racing through her mind She takes a stand She can't afford all these tears in my eyes She can't afford all these tears in my eyes She can't afford all these tears as she shines And so I followed seven rivers to the sea What was the beauty in that? If all the dreams that I treasured were made of concrete I was chasing another you that I had seen in my dreams She takes a stand She can't afford all these tears in my eyes She can't afford all these tears in my eyes She can't afford all these tears as she shines She takes a stand and she makes amends She's only choosing some other place to stay And I'm still here Cause she's the only place where I can sleep at night
