street lights wave goodbye my head resting on the window learned about airplanes with my hands collapsing on top of cargo
where i am going there are no songs about heartbreak my feet placed firmly in the sand the water rushes up to taste your skin then it runs away again... like scared children
some clog pain with alcohol and cork their bottles good some exercise their right to hurt and tighten their hoods I kicked all of the puddles on streets wet from rain retracing the steps I found you were my bane so now i'm leaving you
city lights flash hello open box discounts they glow and they grow one thousand faces fly by like a montage but there is no music
occasionally a "hi", a "hello", an "excuse me" the lack of genuine people starts to amuse me the laughs dissipate and fall flat to the ground as the cold blows to me "no one is around"
some clog pain with alcohol and cork their bottles good some exercise their right to hurt and tighten their hoods I kicked all of the puddles on streets wet from rain retracing the steps I found you were my bane so now i'm leaving you but your leaving me too
my regrets are regretting ever letting my mind choose to leave you and now that i'm a million miles away i realize i need you i always needed you
some clog pain with alcohol and cork their bottles good some exercise their right to hurt and tighten their hoods some try hard to escape and leave their regrets behind but sometimes... sometimes you learn what you went out to find, you already swore off in your mind I kicked all of the puddles on streets wet from rain retracing the steps I found you weren't my bane but i left you and you left me too and i let you what am i to do but regret you I let you go too soon.

Always a tough pill to swallow leaving you wondering what could have been. This was a joy to read and it could be a song to be honest. Well written.
