lyrics

I was runnin’ before I walked
I was singin’ before I talked
I was dreaming before I’d fallen asleep
But not before the nightingale
Sang to me

I was humming before I spoke
I was sleeping before I woke
I was keeping a beat
When I couldn’t read
When they told me, "write a fiction"
I without a premonition
Wrote out my biography

I was smoking between the sets
I was gamblin' before each bet
I was searchin' for something I couldn’t see
The feeling of a heartbeat
Falling, falling over me

I was laughin’ before I cried
I was reaching for a velvet sky
I was looking for somebody just like me
But that wasn’t what I needed then
And I’m sorry for how I treated you
Best believe I got a different view
‘Cause you are everything I need
