All This Time

Another crowded Friday
Headlights across your face
Laughing in the doorway
You float around this place
I tell you all my secrets
You say
"You'll be alright"
I never saw the answer
Standing in my sight

I kept chasing silhouettes
Through every empty room
Running past the one heart
That always saw me through

I was looking for love like a runaway train
Heart on fire
Stumbling through the rain
Every road
Every wrong
Every lonely night
And it’s you
It’s you
You were there in the light
I was reaching for stars I could never find
Till I turned and saw you on the same line
All this time
All this time
I’ve known you all this time

Midnight phone disasters
You always took the call
Talking ’til the sunrise
Polaroids taped crooked on my wall
When the world went quiet into lines of light
You were there with me
I didn’t see the treasure
Right where it had to be

I kept chasing negatives
Of pictures left undone
Never knew the frame I needed
Was already filled by you

I was looking for love like a runaway train
Heart on fire
Falling through the rain
Every road
Every wrong
Every lonely night
And it’s you
It’s you
You were there in the light
I was reaching for stars I could never find
Till I turned and saw you on the same line
All this time
All this time
I’ve known you all this time

Now your hand in mine
Feels like coming home
Every empty space
Suddenly feels full
How did I not see?
How was I so blind?
When your smile was the sunrise
On the edge of my life

I was looking for love like a runaway train
Heart on fire
Racing into the rain
Every road
Every wrong
Every lonely night
And it’s you
It’s you
You were there in the light
I was reaching for stars I could never find
Till I turned and saw you on the same line
All this time
All this time
I’ve known you all this time

All this time (all this time)
All this time (all this time)
I’ve known you all this time

All this time (hey!)
All this time (oh!)
I’ve known you all this time

(Whoa)
You were love
You were love
You were love in my life
You were love
You were love
I’ve known you all this time

All this time
All this time
I’ve known you all this time (yeah)
All this time
All this time
I’ve known you all this time

Oh-oh-ohhh
Oh-oh-ohhh
Ahhh-ahhh-ahhh

Oh-oh-ohhh
Oh-oh-ohhh
All this time
