no one’s in the car with me
to go to 7-Eleven at 2am
split my Boston creme pie with
sit on a rooftop and get high with
flying outta here through the sky
instead I drive alone
in my three layers and torn up sweats
dammit I just want to be loved
instead grandfathers ask to play and I run
I want to believe that someday it’ll be true for sure
but that’s hard to do when all that’s thrown my way
are nothing more than future royalties
I just want to be loved goddammit
I run to the door
ready to jump in your arms and run away
but as I’m approaching
the door is barricaded
with a sign taped saying
“come back later...much later”

I sit at the edge of the water
watching the lights as I wait for my love
to come back around from his voyage
the music hypnotizes me
a family of 5 passes me by
the way she looks into his eyes
I could have that right now
if his barge only came this way
I remember how we’d walk the streets at night
swaying like buoys on the lake of my home
now I’m on this ledge as we’re snapped in half
our love is a stack of twigs ready to kindle
the island’s locked away I’ve got nowhere to hide
as these couples pass me on by
the wind whistles a song into my eyes as they water
I sit at the edge ready to swim until I find him
I’ll hope on the fool’s lifeboat gently down the stream
romance is but a dream
