Lyrics

Something happened last night
I-I found a star and she's from our area
Ladies and gentlemen, Axyl
Now while she's coming up here
This song is about love, friendship, forgiveness
I don't know why that last one is so hard
But it is so hard sometimes
Isn't it?
Sometimes when people cut me off in traffic
I just want to
Read between the lines people
Read between the lines
Hi, darling
Hello
Uhm, how tall are you Axyl?
I'm 5'1"
Okay, why don't you go ahead and remove your shoes please sweetheart
Are you ready to do it?
Of course
Okay, let's go for it
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn and we are led
To those who help us most to grow if we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you
(Still me)
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes the sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
(Take it away, baby, it's all yours)
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part, so much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By the wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
Because I knew you
I have been changed for good
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done, you blame me for
But then, I guess we know there's blame to share
And none of it seems to matter anymore
Like a comet pulled from orbit (like a ship blown from its mooring)
As it passes a sun (by a wind off the sea)
Like a stream that meets a boulder (like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood)
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
(Holy crap)
I do believe I have been changed for the better
And because I knew you
Because I knew you
Because I knew you
I have been changed for good
Axyl, ladies and gentlemen
