I saw a ******* the tube
I imagined we would get along
She would sit down beside me
And tell me her favourite song
And from that moment on
We would talk everyday
As if there had never been a moment
When we had not known each other
But the train came to a stop
She walked through the sliding doors
I went back to my paper
And read about the news.

A see through girl looked up at the stars
Lost for a second and the sound of the cars
Faded from her mind like the boy who didn't call
For just one second the city felt small

She thought of the love that came from the dust
That fell from the sky and the clouds up above
She thought of this rock that we have to call home
That spins in the black as we all die alone

She  thought of chances lost when love had broke her heart
Of the rivers running dry and the ones that never start
She thought of the wind blowing through her air
Of the pink lights in the clouds that shine when she's not there

And her dreams of love
They were dreams and they were nothing more
Those sad dreams of love
They were never worth crying for.

Maybe we will laugh together
Maybe we will cry
Maybe we will live forever
Maybe we will die

Invisible is how I feel
I know I'm here but I'm not real
Tomorrow I could dissappear
Maybe I was never here

A million versions of myself
Pennies in a wishing well
Forever lost to history
The dreams that died like memories

The loves I've had, the loves I've lost
Melt away like the frost
The sun will fall from the sky
The stars will  shine, before they die

Dreams are dreams within a dream Nothing here is what it seems
We call illusions reality
We sell ourselves a fantasy

Maybe we will laugh together
Maybe we will cry
Maybe we will live forever
Maybe we will die

As I walk through the city, surrounded by concrete, inhaling polluted air
I hear pneumatic drills and sirens, they are violence to the ear
I see people full of stress, scurrying rat-like along dirt-stained paths
I smell fast food and decay, my senses dulled by this toxic smog
The chaos suffocates, oppresses and burdens my breath
I think this is it.
This is us.
This is what we are.

Some people love themselves too much
Some people don't love themselves enough
Some people, they hate waking up
I can't sleep, my dreams are rough

Some people look up to the sky
To keep themselves from feeling blind
Other People, look straight ahead
And face the fact that when your dead

The chances are there's nothing there
We return to dust, we float like air
For all of us, this is our fight
How can we live, before we die.

The weight of life is heavy on my shoulder
My memory of youth is sad now I am older
I am closer to the moon than I am to the sun
And the things I regret are the things I haven't done

In the mirror I see a face that I don't recognise
I see the fading of the light and the story in the eyes
Is one of chances lost and forever they are gone
And the only thing that's left is the sadness of a song

The voices that I hear, they take away my breath
I gave my life to fear and now I'm bored to death
I am closer to the end but I never made a start
And the lesson I have learned is tearing me apart

We only get one chance, this is our only shot
When all is said and done, all will be forgot
When you let it slip away, it is forever gone
And the only thing that's left is the sadness of a song
