VERSE 1:
Through all the things I never said and did
Through memories and passageways I'd long
since hid
One ordinary life is somehow changed
I can't explain
For all the wounds, the longing scars and pain
There's a picture of a broken dream
somehow re-framed
One ordinary life somehow exchanged
I'm born again
Don't understand
CHORUS:
It should've been me left standin' out in the
pourin' rain
All of my hopes and dreams burned up in a
burst of flame
And it should have been a once in a lifetime
I'm still here wondering why
And here you come again
VERSE 2:
Now looking back through time and space
and dreams
The image of your love and grace I've
often seen
And knowing now what I could not know then
This was your plan
And still sometimes I bow my head in shame
Desperate in my longing just to speak
your name
And finally I'm resolved to simply trust you
And here you come again
I just don't understand
CHORUS
It could've been me left out there
wandering aimlessly
Running here, running there, with no
place to be
And I should have been a one-hit wonder
15 minutes of fame
With nothin' gained and nothin' left to lose
My only chance was you
