Scenery is nothing more than poetry.
Love is nothing more than chemicals.
'Cause fairy tales are just scribbled pages filled with happy endings and little white lies.
One person can make a difference, but a crowd can make a change.


These past months that you've been gone,
I hope that you've been thinking of me.
Remembering how we'd meet at dawn,
wishing that everyone would let us be.
At our special place, on our special day,
I'd always wish for our love to embrace.
Because even though your so far away,
There's still an image of your admirable face.
Even though people say things are clear,
In my mind, life was such a blur.
Every night now I shed a tear,
Because of how I was so unsure.
Seeing tears come down my shirt,
Is how I show my love and affection.
But every night I feel so hurt,
Knowing that we're going the opposite directions.
Gravity pulls me towards you,
Though disregaurded being pushed away.
I'd fight to make your dreams come true,
'Cause Actions speak louder than words but I have nothing left to say.
Reasons are hard to understand,
Knowing you you'd find a way to believe.
Hold onto my hand,
I'll lift you up if you trust me.
Before you start walking,
Stay silent let me do the talking.
When is now?
Been waiting for what feels like a life time.
Got to get to you somewhow,
Draw out a picture some kind of sign.
All I want from time to time and from now and then,
Is for us to be back, side by side once again.
Let me know, when is now?
I don't blame you for running to hide,
Smiles we once knew are now deformed grins.
Started off hugging tight our pride,
Stuck between two worlds and no place to begin.
Falling beneath the road we drew,
An endless void filled with devistation.
Just has to be a way to make it through,
Construct a bridge got to use your imagination.
Without you next to me I have this terrible pain,
Every day that you're gone is a down pour of rain.
When the phone rings, I get the urge to answer quickly,
Always think that it's you calling back.
Probably left a million messages,
Cause I call back and the inbox is full.
Afraid that you blocked my number,
Or are you putting me on hold?
Passing out into a deep slumber,
Summer may be here but my body is still cold.
Before you spread your wings to soar,
Allow the breeze to go, this is something you can't ignore.
When is now?
Been waiting for what feels like a life time.
Got to get to you somewhow,
Draw out a picture some kind of sign.
All I want from time to time and from now and then,
Is for us to be back, side by side once again.
Let me know, when is now?
These past months that you've been gone,
I hope that you've been thinking of me.
Because I haven't forgotten...

It's about my girlfriend I let go because I was too insecure. I miss her deeply.
