lyrics

Everyone comes from somewhere.
At this point, we’re strangers
but I wanted to meet you ‘cause
something screamed interesting and personable too,
Your image was clear to me
Maybe some courage would push me to stand up
and find out if we were alike in thinking

We talked of our childhood
We slept in the living room
We walked in the rain
and sang under our umbrella
even though, it was only meant for one single person
I fell in love with you and your presence did satisfy
but something went wrong, and then nothing felt right

you let go of the handle
and ran somewhere else
none of it made sense
oh, it wasn’t so clear
and since then I’ve waited for your image to walk by
and since then I’ve waited through autumn and winter
and since then I’ve shivered through everything cold
and since then our umbrella broke free from our hold

I’ve been showered in decay beneath watered down leaves
my friend, you’re unaffected and unfazed?
I wanted us to go back home, but you had wandered away
Oh, I’ve reached out to you! Yes, I believed we were close
so tell me, what else would my thinking consider?
I found you at the shoreline, I’ve been looking for years
*For someone who never existed outside my brain.
