"I Found You" lyrics - NILS LOFGREN

I was hungry, and I couldn't show it
Had so much love to give, and I didn't know it
And then you came around
Turned my world upside down
Something happened, when I found you

I was crazy, nerves all distorted
Guts like a brush fire, gone unreported
You stepped into my heart
Accepted me from the start
Life has been magic, since I found you

I was clearly clueless, lost and adrift
Wasted enough to welcome death as a gift
You showed me pain's no sin
I saw how sick and stupid I'd been
Hell, I almost like me, since I found you

I found you, and a black sky cleared
I found you, my fate reappeared
I found you, and I slept at last, holding you

At my most frightening, you'd tenderly laugh
A lifetime in the dirt, and you have me a bath
You weren't scared for a minute
You climbed right on down in it

And I see colours, since I found you
Life has been magic, since I found you
Good things happened, when I found you
Hell, I almost like me
Since I found you...
