Led to you

I remember, near fourteen Not full-grown something in between Saw a crossroads was approaching All the girls had started smoking As all innocence got left behind Bodies raging, fired minds We'd get drunk to pass the time They're breaking skin just to feel alive So delicate, undefined Black tears and a mouth full of white lies Fell back trying to read the signs in time Was I playing for the other side? Passed out getting high on Tramadol Close call with a good samaritan Two hearts and a home away from home A double life all I'd ever known They should've been the best years I missed'm Ten more to get it out my system Too young to bend to sickness I found a strength I never knew existed Next step was a leap of faith I took a trip though I know I should've stayed Made a B-line for the extreme In a world apart, though a fever dream Had bad luck but good intentions No room for imperfection Selection, rejection All steps in your direction Every turn that I've taken Every thought upon waking Every embrace, every mistake It led to you Every word that's been spoken Every rule that I've broken Every face I've ever traced It led to you Freewheeling, I was outbound I was grieving for my home ground We were wide-eyed for the restart We'd left our childhood sweethearts With a hunger for adventure We were thirsty for attention From the bright lights to the come down Like children at a fairground Made memories to bass-line We'd drink and dance and touch for the first time Gave my heart out to the wrong guy My blue-eyes blind A fool from the first line Near hell to pure perfection One love to disconnection Deception, reflection All steps in your direction Every turn that I've taken Every thought upon waking Every embrace, every mistake It led to you Every word that's been spoken Every rule that I've broken Every face I've ever traced It led to you From the big smoke to the small town With my hopes up and my head down As a hard-earned education Nearly got lost in translation So much harder than expected My attentions redirected From the comfort of an old friend To a new curse, or a Godsend? Conflicted, made crazy By a new world built on the banks of a melody Saw the future in a new key To a tune so sweet it took the better part of me Old tricks and new sensations, blind to the implications Elation, fixation, a dangerous combination Every turn that I've taken Every thought upon waking Every embrace, every mistake It led to you Every word that's been spoken Every rule that I've broken Every face I've ever traced It led to you Every turn that I've taken Every thought upon waking Every embrace, every mistake It led to you Every word that's been spoken Every rule that I've broken Each embrace, mistake, each face I've ever traced There's nothing I would change It led to you
