Blue October - Only Lost Is Found Lyrics

Blue October Lyrics

"Only Lost Is Found"

Anyone can set alarms
I come creeping like a fable
And you ask me if I'm able
And all in, but, it might help if you were gone

But I've nowhere left to turn
My God is staring through the starlight
At the wound hid behind my cheek and
With the look of my birthday beak and
I'll stay and live here in the dark

Hold against the ground
Way beneath the Earth it goes around
I'll climb the wall if I am able to
But only lost is found

A warm, sedated kind of love
It's a lonely miracle
I stand until I don't believe my eyes
I found the light above

I've lifted all I can
So I turn to the page of our connection
I need you here with me, I'm willing, I'm kneeling
A place where I belong

Pain, the worst is finally gone
Way, way beyond the signals
I know you're used to suffering
But love will take some time

Hold against the ground
Way beneath the Earth it goes around
I'll climb the wall if I am able to
But only lost is found

A warm, sedated kind of love
It's a lonely miracle
I stand until I don't believe my eyes
I found the light of God
The light of God

Our smile will not forget us, no
He marks it slowly
Just pull me in your arms below
Get out but
The water's always ready

Commenting on "Only Lost Is Found", Justin Furstenfeld said, "This is probably my favourite song on the whole album 'cause it was another one of those things when Eric said, 'You might not like this one. This is a little sad.' And I said, 'What are you talking about? I love sad.' And he played me those chords... [...] and we just, 'Bam!'" He also added, "I love the lyrics on this one. It's like it starts with feeling like you were born with... with like some physical deformity, and that's how you feel inside. [...] This is me digging in the dirt. As Peter Gabriel would say, 'To find the places I got hurt.'"
