lyrics

Started out just an ordinary morning til I got the feeling things would change
I saw your face and I knew that I was going to make it through the day

I was lost and lonely
Broken before you found me
You are the only place I can escape from it all

Hold it close so that it never goes away
Hold it close so that it never goes away

Started out just an ordinary person til I got the feeling things would change
Saw your face and I knew my life was never going to be the same

I was lost and lonely
Broken before you found me
You are the only place I can escape from it all
Run down, bruised and listless
Hopeless before I knew this
You are the only place I can escape from it all

Hold it close so that it never goes away
Hold it close so that it never goes away

When I’ve lost my way, When I fear the day
When I’m trapped inside, When I cannot hide
You’re my escape

I was lost and lonely
Broken before you found me
You are the only place I can escape from it all
Run down, bruised and listless
Hopeless before I knew this
You are the only place I can escape from it all

Hold it close so that it never goes away
Hold it close so that it never goes away

Started out just an ordinary morning until I got the feeling things would change
