I want to tell you something before you go
kept among the things that no one needs to know
see, I've been driven into many a moonless night
kind of grew up with me and painted me inside

some people seem to always, have to fight the storm
instead of staying home and wait until it's gone
they put a "why" in front of every step they take
they put a "why" in front of every move they make

the ways of a hungry heart, are hard to go
and you should know
the ways of a hungry heart, are hard to get to know
and you should know

searching for 'the one thing' on and on we go
and where we're heading for we don't even know
we like to fill a gallon, fill it until it bursts
and of all comfort there is, sorry is the worst

the ways ...

living with the future is just like living with the past
nothing stays the same, no day lasts longer than a day

make way for the hungry hearts, they come and go
and you should know
the ways of a hungry heart are hard to get to know
you should know ...
