with every word, I live again
through the eyes of another
we'll meet at night wet from the rain
and surprise each other
with how we take away the pain
could you be the one to find me safe and sound?
love is how it's lost, not how it's found

I dont know those eyes, but I see beauty there, always
I know its wrong to love you from afar, but it's a craze
you recognize my pain
could you be the one to find me safe and sound?
love is how it's lost, not how it's found
love is how it's lost, not how it's found

you take away my pain
could you be the one to find me safe and sound?
love is how it's lost, not how it's found
love is how it's lost, not how it's found

oh, I'll take away your pain
could you be the one to find me safe and sound?
love is how it's lost, not how it's found
love is how it's lost, not how it's found

love is how I'm lost, not how I'm found...

    General Comment:I think this is about searching for love and finding it in someone but feeling kind of dumb for being so hung up on someone after just meeting them. This person brings something new and exciting to their life, and that's exactly what this person needs so they have some sort of attachment to them.

    "I dont know those eyes, but I see beauty there, always
    I know its wrong to love you from afar, but it's a craze"

    She doesn't know the person, but thinks she could potentially love them, for some reason. She "loves them from afar" by thinking about them too much [she thinks she's going crazy/"it's a craze"]

    The person is understanding and caring ["you recognize my pain"] and she sees that this person is also hurt, maybe fresh out of a new relationship. They both see that each other is hurting and surprise themselves when they begin to have feelings for each other because they don't really know each other that well. "and surprise each other
    with how we take away the pain"

    That's what i think.

    General Comment:orenda wrote this, she's saying that love doesn't happen when you feel perfect and 'safe and sound' (like she assumes) rather it happens when you're in pain and you need it and what signifies love is not the state you're in when you meet but rather when you leave one another, in that case you should be made better by that person's love...

    General Comment:I fall asleep to this song every night. I always hope it's going to take me to some sweet dream where my life has turned into a romantic comedy where my knight-in-shining-armor sweeps me off my feet as we cross paths during a rainstorm in Central Park.

    That's just what I picture when I hear. And the melody itself is achingly beautiful.

    General Comment:Love at first sight. Fantasies and fairy tales of the One. Happenstance meetings. Admiration from a distance. Possibility of being found out. Sorrow if rejected. Doubt and uncertainty.

    To keep love alive, you keep it to yourself. Your love will be safe and sound. That's why love is how it's lost, not how it's found.

    General Comment:yeah, i really only long to be found by someone. i don't think anyone cares to look. it's sad, but this song is beautiful and encompasses that feeling of being lost and wanting someone to "find you." i think really that's what everyone wants... to be found when they feel lost.

    General Comment:imagining what it would be like if the person with whom you are infatuated chose to want you back. this song has an incredible dreamlike quality, and IT sounds wet from the rain.

    absolutely stunning.
