If there was a place that had a shelf
Just for certain objects that can't be found
Anywhere else
I know that I would go there and look for something
A little tiny piece of my childhood
Wrapped up in plastic and living in a box
Eyes frozen open, looking out at the world
Waiting for a child or an adult
To pick it up
Well I once knew a girl who had these eyes
Sparkled everytime that we stood in the sun
Oh how I admired her for what she was
But I never knew
Just how wrong I was to feel such a thing
A tormented b*****d soul, well that was me
Standing in line with the rest of the world
Waiting for the handouts and the water to come
Looking up and wondering what would be next
The thoughts kept coming back with a dagger and a heart
I squirmed and tossed and turned all the long night
Screaming at the sky
And on that very night is when you had called
You said that you were sorry
That you shouldn't have run
I listened and I waited for you to explain
Instead of reaching out and breaking my brain
But what I never told you is how much I had lied
So much internal fire coming at one time
You had set me on a trip to find myself
After leaving me to die
So now we're living our seperate lives
You across the states and me where I am
Hoping I never see you, but secretly I am
Wanting you to come knock at the door
And tell me that you've come to find yourself too
Starting at the one place that thought they knew you
Well we'll start it out slow and go through time
Jump from Pittsburgh to the next city of lights
Watching the sea of people wishing out loud
And when the darkness ends
And the sun begins
I don't know what we'll be
No I don't know what we'll be
It was only after I had heard that one song
We used to sing together in my old room
The one that kind of sounded like the folk and the blues
It was one we both loved
But now we're facing trouble, its looking us in the face
Extinction slowly coming, laughing along
Waiting for the moment where we'll come apart
And not ever knowing what the other would say
We'll end up enemies in love anyway
