Darien Martus: Now

Never Before

(Darien Martus)
Music and Lyrics by Darien Martus, ASCAP
Never Before

Never before have I felt at such a loss for words
Not to mention my mind
Never before was I so totally insane
Sometimes its serious pleasure
Sometimes its serious pain
But none of it’s coming together
Let me start this again

Never before have I felt like breaking out of my life
And shaking with you
Never have I been crazed like this before
Sometimes I break out in laughter
Sometimes I drop to the floor
Sometimes I’ve felt this way after
But never before

Once upon a time I heard a fairytale
That I might be a prince for you
Maybe that one’s just a little scary, well,
Maybe it’s true

Never before has a sunrise been so beautiful
And me so awake
Never before has the moonlight seemed so pure
Everything in me is whirling
Hey, can I take anymore?
I’d expect to feel this during
But never before

Back in the day there was a silver horse
Mounted by a handsome white knight
There is no way that could be me, of course,
This time it might

Never before have I walked on the beach at sunset
And wanted to hold hands
Never have I sung a song like this before
I’ll guess I’ll have to surrender
I don’t want to fight anymore
I’ve known how love stories ended
But never before

I guess I’ve been this much in love
But never before
