Never Felt Before

Lyrics

Is it on or in the air tonight
Or is it just a station on the way
You find your body on a timeless flight
It won’t come down again til’ All Souls Day

Spend your days, your time’s unfazed
Passed out on the floor
Wondering why you’re trying to reclaim something you ain’t never felt before
Never had before
Never known before
Never felt before

I know a star that shines but not so bright
It’s nights like these they fall out of the sky
She loves it all, just not herself last night
She sleeps but never dreams and wonders why

The tides roll out, the sirens shout
Washed up on the shore
The lost remains reclaim the names of someone like you’d never felt before
Never had before
Never known before
Never felt before

The best made plans like grains of sand
Tumble through the hourglass
And all those things you come to hate are gone
Hope won’t bring her ‘round again
You’ll miss her like a long lost friend
And all those things you’ve come to hate are… gone

All those things you’ve come to hate are something like you’ve never felt before

Doctor, look into a photograph
You remind me of my past, where did you go
