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
