My Apollo
Shy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Someone's got their message through
And now I know why I stand on this hill at night
Gazing up in wonder
Someone around, hold me down
Realization rushes to my head
Since I knew what it's all about

Hey, the contacts made
The lights in my eyes
Hope in my heart
My life was touch and go
No need to worry, now that I know
Now I know that

I've found my Apollo
(I've found him)
At last the way to follow

Well, I can take this revolution
Spending my life, turning the pages
Disbelieving this evolution
Well, I'm a man and here I stand
I've been fooled for a long time
Standing here in the shade
Just touch my hand

Hey, the contacts made
The lights in my eyes
Hope in my heart
My life was touch and go
No need to worry, now that I know
Now I know that

I've found my Apollo
(I've found him)
At last the way to follow

When the leaves fall from the trees
The time comes when all things will be
Be as they should've been
Strength of will has changed all your lives
And you don't even care or know
That there is still time to change

Hey, the contacts made
The lights in my eyes
Hope in my heart
My life was touch and go
No need to worry, now that I know
Now I know that

I've found my Apollo
(I've found him)
At last the way to follow

I've found my Apollo
(I've found him)
At last the way to follow, whoa...

I've found my Apollo, oh...




(I've found him)
At last the way to follow, whoa...
