You Found Me
Derek DeRush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be a part of me
Ever since I was young and dumb
You've always been the one that I could run to
Ever since it began
I didn't find you
You found me through
Everything
And helped me understand
What it is
What am I
What is dark
What is light
And you showed me love
There's no me without us
I'm glad that you found me
