Lyrics

I remember that time on the river
We saw that deer run for its life
So beautiful and scared
She wasn't going down without a fight
You looked at me and I held back the tears
We both knew we'd been living
With that same kind of fear

I keep asking myself what's this life mean
But moments like these they make me believe

All these years I've often felt alone
Never had a place that I called home
Change course more times than I can count
But with you I feel like I belong somehow
I belong somehow

I remember that time we walked up
highway one in the dark
The helicopter above
Kept shining its spotlight on us
We ran like thieves and laughed like kids
We weren't really in trouble
But we loved living like this

I keep asking myself what's this life mean
But moments like these they make me believe

All these years I've often felt alone
Never had a place that I called home
Change course more times than I can count
But with you I feel like...

All these years I've often felt alone
Never had a place that I called home
Change course more times than I can count
But with you I feel like I belong somehow
I belong somehow
I belong somehow
