Lyrics

BEFORE
I saw it so clearly.
You were there, staring back at me.
And I wanted to feel you, like the fire only we can start.
The sea of people staring back at me.
I wanted to know you, and feel you surrounding me.

Have you ever known a high like this before?
Have you never gotten off like this before?
Didn't think we'd ever fly like this before.
Before.......... We were different - you and me.

You can never deny me.
I am fire for you.
And you need me to burn through all these clouds.
I'll set fire to all these nightmares.
Your mind's obstacles in the way.
I wanted to see you, looking right back at me.

Have you ever known a high like this before?
Have you never gotten off like this before?
Didn't think we'd ever fly like this before.
Before..........
Before is gone. It's only now..........

And I've felt it so easily.
Never knowing what it really means.
It's always been burning, this fire inside of me.
And some day I'll take it over, then you'll see.
I wanted you with me, watching over me.
So I'll keep this fire burning, watching over you.

Have you ever known a high like this before?
Have you never gotten off like this before?
Didn't think we'd ever fly like this before.
Before..........
Have you ever known a high like this before?
Have you never gotten off like this before?
Didn't think we'd ever fly like this before.
Before..........
Before is gone. It's only now..........
