LYRICS:
How long have I been standing here my friend
Has it been so long
I've been spreading myself so thin
I've been so wrong

I wanna be the one you run to
And I wanna be your only one
I wanna be the one you turn to
And I wanna be the one

Why did all the good times turn to sin
And has it been so long
I've been standing here in my footprints
I am so wrong

You shine on me all the good times with you
Where all the smiles belong
You trust in me to save the last tear for you
'Cause I've been so wrong

I wanna be the one you run to
And I wanna be your only one
I wanna be the one you turn to
And I wanna be the one

Hey now it's been so long
Hey hey won't you believe in me
Hey now I've come so far
Hey now won't you believe in me

Frustrations, my aberrance
My time in my life
I can't be what you see in me
I ca' t be

I wanna be the one you run to
And I wanna be your only one
I wanna be the one you turn to
And I wanna be the one

I wanna be the one you run to
And I wanna be your only one
I wanna be the one you turn to
And I wanna be the one

Doesn't matter WHAT song you listen on... as long as it's SOiL it will rock your world. I could never have said this about any other band without lying! SOiL ROCKS EVERYTHING!!!!!! \../,

The first song i heard by SOiL, Pure Awesome. They're still a great band, some of their newer songs are pretty damn awesome, they're just not heard of that much anymore.

HeadStrikeR

One of my favorite tracks, simply amazing!
