I got a head full of whiskey, full of words you never use
I got the stars in my eyes, 'cause I'm losing all my cues
I want a new place to sing 'cause I won't feel as blue
And if I've got someone to sing to who's looking for the clues
(_Verse 2_)
I've been looking for a new song in the back of a new book
I've been staring at the dark side of the moon on a new hook
I've been looking at my old hands but they're new hands they're not mine
And if my body's just a puppet, who's the one holding my strings
(_Chorus_)
Are you now or have you ever
Found a lover who makes you feel alive?
Are you now or have you ever
Found a person who takes you by surprise?
(_Bridge_)
I found a new way to pray in the city of despair
I went into the valley and I left my burden there
I found a new way to live but I've forgotten how it goes
And if my words are getting colder well it makes me feel much closer
(_Chorus_)
I am now and have I ever
Found a lover who makes me feel alive?
I am now and have I ever
Found a person who takes me by surprise?
(_Verse 3_)
We're all looking for a new song, so we turn up the old tunes
We're all praying for a new day, but the old one don't know how to move
We're searching on the dancefloor, when we find it in our bones
And if love be the reason well then, my my how it shows
(_Chorus_)
Are you now or have you ever
Found a lover who makes you feel alive?
Are you now or have you ever
Found a person who takes you by surprise?
(_Verse 4_)
Now all of my friends are gone and I'm out here on my own
With nothing but a song to sing and this guitar to hold
I've got a head full of lies I just can't memorize
And if I found something to fight for my my how I'd come alive
