I know what this looks like, I know I know
I know what they’re saying, I know I know
That you’re just on the other side of a real bad way
and you’re just on the other side
of drowning your life away
Well it’s too damn bad it’s all a big cliche
Cause I know you were always the one
I was looking for

God help me if I don’t see right
and God help me if you’re a liar
I know what I’m feeling for the first time in my life
You’re just on the other side of a real bad way
and you’re just on the other side
of gambling your life away
Well it’s too damn bad it’s all a big cliche
Cause I know you were always the one
I was looking for

When you spend your life standing in the river
blistered and burnt from your choice
of shifting through the rubble looking for your gold
when you find your gold you know the score

I know a lot less than I knew before
and I know a great deal more
I know life is on the line
but if we don’t try tell me what’s it all for?
Listen, I’m just on the other side of a real bad way
and I’m just on the other side
of throwing my life away
Well it’s too damn bad it’s all a big cliche
Cause I know you were always the one
I was looking for
