Undiscovered
James Morrison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know why or where I'm coming from
And in my head I'm close to you
We're in the rain still searching for the sun
You think that I wanna run and hide
I'll keep it all locked up inside
I just want you to find me
We're never alone we're all the same as each other
You see the look that's on my face
You might think I'm out of place
I'm not lost, no no, just undiscovered
Well the time it takes to know someone
It all can change before you know it's gone
So close your eyes and feel the way
I'm with you now believe there's nothing wrong
You think that I wanna run and hide
I'll keep it all locked up inside
I just want you to find me
I'm not lost, I'm not lost, just undiscovered
We're never alone we're all the same as each other
You see the look that's on my face you might think I'm out of place
I'm not lost, no no, just undiscovered
In James Morrison's song Undiscovered, the singer talks about feeling lost and undiscovered despite being with someone they care about. The first verse reveals the singer's confusion and uncertainty, and their desire to connect with the person they're with. They are both in the same situation, searching for something they haven't found yet. In the second verse, the singer is reassuring the other person that they're not trying to hide or run away, but they simply want to be found. They want to be understood, and they want to establish a real connection with the other person.
The singer acknowledges that we are all the same, and that we should not feel alone in our search for identity and purpose. The song seems to suggest that sometimes, we need to close our eyes and simply feel our way through life, in order to make the most of our time and not let it slip away. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer is not lost, but undiscovered. This reinforces the idea that they are searching for a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationship, rather than running away.
Overall, Undiscovered is a song about vulnerability and the importance of human connection. It highlights the fact that we all struggle with feelings of isolation and uncertainty, but that we can find meaning and connection in our interactions with others. James Morrison's soulful voice and simple but powerful lyrics create a moving and relatable ode to the human experience.
