James Morrison: “Undiscovered”

I look at you, you bite your tongue (Idiom)
You don't know why or where I'm coming from
(I often feel misunderstood for the many choices that I make. Sometimes, this makes it hard to trust myself and my choices. I choose what I do very specifically, so I know I can trust myself)
But in my head I'm close to you (metaphor)
We're in the rain still searching for the sun
(The object of “you” in this piece refers to my grandfather who also did things very uniquely. I am always looking to the brighter side because he taught me that through his actions)

You think that I want to run and hide
That I keep it all locked up inside but I just want you to find me
(the “you” in this section refers to those people who judge me and don’t understand that I have things I am pushing to accomplish. I created a bucket list and the world will one day see all the adventures I set out to accomplish)

I'm not lost; not lost, just undiscovered
(just because I haven’t accomplished everything yet; but wait because I will)
And when we're alone we are all the same as each other
(what sets us apart is that some people are more motivated to go out and LIVE life exactly as they design. I am one of those people and I hope to bring people along with me.)

You see the look that's on my face (end rhyme)
You might think I'm out of place  (end rhyme)
(I often feel I don’t fit in. Now I don’t feel I need to because my life is as I design and those who care enough to know me will see that I am accomplishing great things)
I'm not lost, no, no, just undiscovered

Well the time it takes to know someone
It all can change before you know it's gone
(evolution is the way of life. People choose to jump on or get ran over)
So close your eyes feel the way I'm with you now
Believe there's nothing wrong
