Story behind the song
Incredibly, Craig told me he'd like to have a lyric for a song "in the style of Bon Jovi"...I laughed but said I'd do my best...
With just a few word changes, this is what he made of it.
Lyrics
Gotta Find My Way (Back To You)
lyric dawn sinclair
music craig matthews
This morning, I woke up
in a bed, in a room in a town called God-Knows-Where
my head beat like a drum, my eyes refused to focus
I wasn't even certain I was there
As I looked around the room the holdall in the corner
was the only thing familiar in view
and as the fog inside my head began to clear this morning dread
with sudden clarity of mind I knew
chorus
I've gotta find my way back to you
to the sweetest lips I've ever kissed
the deepest eyes I've truly missed
the only girl who loves me like you do
Gotta find a way to be with you
Each night I play guitar, while I’m wishing on a star
on a stage, in a bar in a town called I-Don't-Care
I set out with hopes high, saw fame and fortune waiting
and I was certain I would get my share
Now my songs no longer rhyme, they grow sadder all the time
and my soul is turning every shade of blue
and there ain’t a bar in town holds the beer I'd need to drown
the misery that is life without you
chorus
I've gotta find my way back to you
to the sweetest lips I've ever kissed
the deepest eyes I've truly missed
the only girl who loves me like you do
I've gotta find a way to be with you
bridge
and whatever I thought life would be
I swear I never wanted to be free
from all that really matters to me
baby, I love you...I love you...I love you
-solo-
chorus x2
I've gotta find my way back to you
to the sweetest lips I've ever kissed
the deepest eyes I've truly missed
the only girl who loves me like you do
I've gotta find a way to get to you
