I don’t know you

but I want you:

all the more for that

words fall through me

and always fool me

and I can’t react.

And games that never amount

to more than they’re meant

will play themselves out.

Take this sinking boat

and point it home:

we’ve still got time.

Raise your hopeful voice:

you have a choice,

you’ve made it now.

Falling slowly,

eyes that know me

and I can’t go back.

Moods that take me

and erase me

and I’m painted black.

You have suffered enough

and warred with yourself:

it’s time that you won.

Take this sinking boat

and point it home:

we’ve still got time.

Raise your hopeful voice:

you have a choice,

you’ve made it now.

Falling slowly,

sing your melody:

I’ll sing along.
