I look at you, you bite your tongue I don't know why or where I'm coming from And in my head I'm close to you We're in the rain still searching for the sun You think that I wanna run and hide I'll keep it all locked up inside I just want you to find me I'm not lost, I'm not lost, just undiscovered We're never alone we're all the same as each other You see the look that's on my face You might think I'm out of place I'm not lost, no no, just undiscovered Well the time it takes to know someone It all can change before you know it's gone So close your eyes and feel the way I'm with you now believe there's nothing wrong You think that I wanna run and hide I'll keep it all locked up inside I just want you to find me I'm not lost, I'm not lost, just undiscovered We're never alone we're all the same as each other You see the look that's on my face you might think I'm out of place I'm not lost, no no, just undiscovered
