How Did You Find Me Here Lyrics
The night I fell in sorrow
I knew I was alone
A dozen good-time friendships
but my heart is still unknown.
I thought I saw your footsteps
in the sand along the shore,
and I mumbled emptry phrases
that sang so well before.
Now inches from the water
about to disappear,
I feel you behind me,
but how did you find me here?
I couldn't reach for rescue
But I hid myself from you
I couldn't stand to see me
from your point of view.
'Cause I knew I'd disappoint you
if I showed to you this child
who is crying out inside me
lost in the wild.
Now inches from the water
about to disappear,
I feel you behind me,
how did you find me here?
I feel you behind me...
Laughing in the water
to wash away the tears,
I feel you behind me,
but how did you find me here?
I feel you behind me,
but how did you find me here?
I knew I was alone
A dozen good-time friendships
but my heart is still unknown.
I thought I saw your footsteps
in the sand along the shore,
and I mumbled emptry phrases
that sang so well before.

Pick your superlative, the singer, the song and the album deserve them all. The dichotomy, the conflicting desires to be saved and to simply fade away, unnoticed, unremarked, unmourned. At least that's what it says to me. 😸
