I want to find myself far away from you
And your shallow net of love
Too easily I slipped from your fingers
Too easily I dissipated from your mind

I want to find myself in headlights of dark highways  
And foreign gas stations on roads unknown
Where I’ll feel whole in the lust of mystery
Where fresh beginnings grow on every corner

Where the scent of the air breathes differently
And color of the trees shine brighter
I want to find myself away from your memory
I fear how far I’ll have to outrun the roots of our intertwined youth.
I don’t want you to exist to me anymore.
Note: I made it to Paris, and I found myself in all the places I wanted to, without him.
