Sometimes when I’m by myself
I imagine me with you
Running off to far off lands
With so much left to do
We rule the world with iron fists
And giggle behind closed doors
We ponder the meaning of our dreams
And what we were made for
We steal hotels and sleep in jewels
And stare up tall skyscrapers
Staring off into infinity
In this town made of paper
Then I see you and I say hello
You didn’t hear or answer back
I don’t mention our adventures
Because of the confidence I lack
I’ve fallen in love with the idea
Of you as a perfect person
The more intricate I spin this tale
The more my affliction worsens
You aren’t the one who comes with me
To distant far off places
You’re two very different people
With very similar faces
But I let myself imagine
That beneath your boring shell
The swashbuckling endearing daredevil
Lies inside as well
