The Search Is Over
Survivor Lyrics

How can I convince you
The singer is trying to persuade his loved one that what she sees is real

What you see is real?
The singer is pointing out that his loved one's doubts about their love are unfounded

Who am I to blame you
The singer is acknowledging that his loved one's doubts are valid

For doubting what you feel?
The singer is saying that the doubts are unfounded, but that he can understand why his loved one has them

I was always reachin'
The singer was always trying to achieve something bigger and better than what he currently had

You were just a girl I knew
The singer did not realize how important his loved one was to him at the time

I took for granted
The singer did not appreciate what he had with his loved one

The friend I had in you
The singer now recognizes that his loved one was not just a girl he knew, but also a good friend

I was living for a dream
The singer's mind was on achieving some kind of dream or goal

Loving for a moment
The singer was more interested in short-term love or infatuation than long-term commitment

Taking on the world
The singer was ambitious and wanted to conquer the world

That was just my style
This was the way the singer approached life and relationships

Now I look into your eyes
The singer is fully aware of his love for his loved one

I can see forever
The singer is aware of the long-term potential of his relationship

The search is over
The singer has found what he was looking for in his partner

You were with me all the while
The singer realizes that his loved one was always there for him, even if he didn't always recognize it

Can we last forever?
The singer is wondering if their love is meant to be permanent

Will we fall apart?
The singer is acknowledging the fact that all relationships have their difficulties and challenges

At times, it's so confusing
The singer recognizes that matters of the heart are often unclear and difficult to navigate

The questions of the heart
The singer is referring to the uncertainties and mysteries of love

You followed me through changes
The singer's loved one stood by him even in difficult and uncertain times

And patiently you'd wait
The singer's loved one was willing to wait for him to figure out his feelings and priorities

'Til I came to my senses
The singer finally realized the importance of his relationship with his loved one

Through some miracle of fate
The singer recognizes that their love was meant to be, and that it took a special turn of events for them to be together

Now the miles stretch out behind me
The singer has come a long way in his life and his relationship

Loves that I have lost
The singer has experienced past relationships that did not work out

Broken hearts lie, victims of the game
The singer is referring to the pain and hurt that can come with love

Then good luck, it finally struck
The singer feels fortunate that he finally found true love after experiencing disappointment and heartbreak

Like lighting from the blue
The singer is describing how surprised and unexpected his love felt

Every highway's leading me back to you
The singer feels like fate and destiny are leading him towards his loved one

Now at last, I hold you
The singer has finally attained what he has been searching for

Now all is said and done
The singer has come to terms with the challenges of his relationship and is ready to move forward

The search has come full circle
The singer has found what he was searching for and feels fulfilled

Our destinies are one
The singer feels like his fate and his loved one's fate are now intertwined

So if you ever loved me
The singer is asking his loved one to prove her feelings for him

Show me that you give a damn
The singer is looking for reassurance of his loved one's commitment and love

You'll know for certain
The singer's loved one will be sure of his love if she shows him that she cares

The man I really am
The singer wants to show his authentic self to his loved one, now that he has come to realize the importance of their relationship

Then I touched your hand
The singer is describing an intimate moment with his loved one

I could hear you whisper
The singer is describing a feeling of closeness and intimacy with his loved one

The search is over
The singer has found true love

Love was right before my eyes
The singer has come to realize the love that has been in front of him all along
