Alexandria
I made you my one and only sea
That way wherever I am, there you will be
And at night when the wild wind roars
The child sleeps and again I am yours
And rags that cover us in the daylight
Spin to gold in the night light
We are revealed
Destiny fulfilled
And I follow
I follow my fame
But then I hijack my days and squander my nights
In your name
I had seen every child-like dream
As a footnote to where we might have been
Every orphan goes crying for a name
Is now at peace and shall bear no shame
And I'm lost in one opinion
I'm not lost in one definition
We are revealed
Destiny fulfilled
And I follow
I follow my fate
Now counting the days to squander my nights
In your flame
Alexandria, Alexandria
I knew that there was more than just goodbye
Alexandria, Alexandria
I swear you made me blessed to be alive
And all of the times that I've lived as a guest
I never dreamed that I'd know love like this
Come on darling, come get me out of my head
Oh yeah, all the times that I've lived a guest
Praying my darling, I'm better off dead
Come on darling, come get me out of my head
Alexandria, Alexandria
I knew that there was more than just goodbye
Alexandria, Alexandria
I swear you made me blessed to be alive
Alexandria, Alexandria
I knew that there was more than just goodbye
Alexandria, Alexandria
I swear you made me blessed to be alive
That way wherever I am, there you will be
And at night when the wild wind roars
The child sleeps and again I am yours
And rags that cover us in the daylight
Spin to gold in the night light
We are revealed
Destiny fulfilled
And I follow
I follow my fame
But then I hijack my days and squander my nights
In your name
I had seen every child-like dream
As a footnote to where we might have been
Every orphan goes crying for a name
Is now at peace and shall bear no shame
And I'm lost in one opinion
I'm not lost in one definition
We are revealed
Destiny fulfilled
And I follow
I follow my fate
Now counting the days to squander my nights
In your flame
Alexandria, Alexandria
I knew that there was more than just goodbye
Alexandria, Alexandria
I swear you made me blessed to be alive
And all of the times that I've lived as a guest
I never dreamed that I'd know love like this
Come on darling, come get me out of my head
Oh yeah, all the times that I've lived a guest
Praying my darling, I'm better off dead
Come on darling, come get me out of my head
Alexandria, Alexandria
I knew that there was more than just goodbye
Alexandria, Alexandria
I swear you made me blessed to be alive
Alexandria, Alexandria
I knew that there was more than just goodbye
Alexandria, Alexandria
I swear you made me blessed to be alive
