First of all, I spent a half of a lifetime
Searching for you
Pickup joints and one night stand lovers were never true
Playing a game of love for suckers, hoping to win
And telling those sweet little white lies and losin' my lucky streak again
I was searching for love in all the dead end places
Searching for love in too many pretty faces
Searchin' for the spark in their eyes
Searching for traces of what my lonely heart is dreaming of
Hoping to find a friend and a longtime lover
I'll pray for the day I discover another lonely soul
Searching for love
And I was alone back then, no love of my own in sight
And I did practically everything I could to get me through the end of night
Don't know where it began or where it might end
I turned to a drifter just like a friend
I was searching for love in all the dead end places
Searching for love in too many pretty faces
Searching for the spark in their eyes
Searching for traces of what my lonely heart is dreaming of
Hoping to find a friend and a longtime lover
I'll pray for the day I discover another lonely soul
Searching for love
You came knockin' on my fragile heart's door
You're everything I've searching for
No more searching ' for love in all the dead places
Searching for love in too many pretty faces
Searching for the spark in their eyes
Searching for traces of what my lonely heart is dreaming of
Now that I found a friend and a longtime lover
I pray for the day I discover
You, only you, searching for love
In all the dead end places
Searching for love in too many faces
Searching for the spark in their eyes
Searching for traces of what my lonely heart is dreaming of
Now that I found a friend and longtime lover
I pray for the day I discover
You, only you, searching for love
In all the dead end places
