I litter the city
With my cigarette butts
A long, sad trail
begging you to come
find me.

But you can't.
The wind blows
my breadcrumbs
to throw you off my scent.

They linger and they mingle
with the rest of the trash
left lying in these city streets.

It's a pattern left by all the lonely wanderers
begging to be followed
into the storm.

You look at me
like you’ve seen God.

Your eyes are the greatest
depths of the ocean while
I’m afraid to wade up
to my waist on the shores.

It’s as if every care you
have in the world has been
replaced by your sudden
desire to touch my lips.

I know your heart is a storm,
but it thunders to know the sun again.
i've been wanting things
i said i would never want

i've been wishing things
i thought i would never wish

my own mind is starting to scare me

i guess this is what happens
when you grow up.
I met a man with eyes so lonely
I felt his pain I felt it strongly
I gave my hand to help him out
to find a way out of the doubt

His pain was real
not some reflection
His cure was love
and true affection

But how do you tell
a man with life like hell
that he needs true love
to break the spell

Did he ache or was it me?
What did I miss and did not see?
I thought a lot through and through
and tried to change my point of view

But it was clear there was no mistake
it was time to get awake
I gave my hand to help him out
at the end of the day was the other way around

I met a man with eyes so lonely
He felt my pain He felt it strongly
