about

Sometimes things are inevitable. You cannot fight them. You cannot avoid them. You can only make peace.

lyrics

I knew you were coming,
I always knew,
So I sat around,
And I waited for you.

But you took your sweet time,
Now I feel alive,
And I don't want to go.

ah

The sound of your voice,
It shatters my soul,
It's like ten thousand angels
Singing in contrary motion.

How deep you are just like the ocean.

I tried to run,
Far away from you,
But you're all around.
I can't escape,
There's a thousand ways to meet you,
I close my eyes ,
I see you,
so in time . . .
you will be mine . . .
