i've been walking
through life
with my eyes half open
my heart half empty
looking for something
i've just learned to name

and i know i've been looking
for something that's real
something that will make me
feel at least a little
a spark or flare
something some part of life

and i've been needing
someone to show me the way
to make me feel that spark
everything and more
that i've always dreamed of
i've been searching for him
and yet i never even knew
what i was looking for

now i have some direction
some sense of what i want
some sense of who
it is i've been needing so badly
that person
who will wake me up
snap me out of my stupor
make me feel something for once

finding him
that's gonna be the problem
