I can barely remember my past Everything seems to disappear so fast But I recall being jealous and alone Gazing at the dreams going by I started my life when you knocked on the door Found something inside I didn't dare to ignore Now I do believe in flowers on the moon I'll swim beside the golden tide You crashed by the gate Captured my fate Salvation My eyes couldn't see I hardly breathed I was diving so deep Salvation I'm down in the study holding on to my luck Will you still love me when I call you up? I gave you my body, the power over me Come on, bring out the best in me You crashed by the gate Captured my fate Salvation My eyes couldn't see I hardly breathed My heart was asleep Salvation Some will get broken Others will get lucky like me meeting you Don't pass me by You crashed by the gate Captured my fate Salvation My eyes couldn't see I hardly breathed I was down on my knees Salvation Some will get broken Others will get lucky like me meeting you Don't pass me by Don't pass me by I found salvation, oh yea You bring me salvation I found salvation
