Lyrics

Before you came life was cranked to 10
Distortion Demons played in my head!
Shrieking bad notes driving friends away
Pushing life to the edge to feel how it played

I was a dissonant note out of tune with life
Out of harmony with all things right
Like a smashed guitar at the end of the night
Life was wasted splinters across the footlights

Now it's a warm cozy fire with an over-sized pillow
And cuddling on the couch with popcorn and Leno
That's the way I feel when you say my name
A feeling that was foreign before you ca -a-a-a-a-ame
Before you came
Life was foggy days and hollow nights
Before you ca -a-a-a-a-ame
Before you came
I drove a pitch-black highway with no headlights

I played raw and harsh piercing treasured hearts
Like nails on a blackboard I was bone chilling hard
But I feel the change every time you're near
Like an old song I heard, something's happening here

Repeat Chorus

Now sweet music is playing in my heart
Sweet as the opry in its gospel hour

Before you ca -a-a-a-a-a-ame, Before you came
Life was foggy days and hollow nights

Before you ca -a-a-a-a-ame, Before you came
I drove a pitch-black highway without headlights

Before you came, Before you came

Before you ca -a-a-a-a-ame, Before you came
