Oh no, you leave me with my back up against the wall Take me as I am I’m only lonely, only broken Leave me as I fall down I’m only lonely, only broken Oh no, you leave me with my back up against the wall Oh no, leave me lonely, standing against the wall Take me as I am I’m only lonely, only broken Leave me as I fall down I’m only lonely, only broken

Sometimes I feel so lonely I want the extraordinary Oh, I want to feel alive Places, faces pass me by Names and dates and details Oh, they get lost to time It’s all so ordinary Need something luminary Oh, I need to feel alive It’s all so ordinary Need something luminary Oh, I need to feel alive Oh, things move so slowly However fast I go The sun crosses the sky What makes you feel alive? How do you make it worth it when you feel so dead inside? It’s all so ordinary Need something luminary Oh, I need to feel alive It’s all so ordinary Need something luminary Oh, I need to feel alive
3.
I watched you plucking roses Out of the earth’s decay Like butterflies in summer Do you still feel that way? And as the vines grow upwards Towards the sky of grey I asked myself “why is she sad?” But there was nothing more to say Fallen beauty of the sea Fallen beauty do you see me? Fallen beauty of the sea Fallen beauty…. I watched you plucking roses Out of the earth’s decay Like butterflies in summer Do you still feel that way? I’m walking in your garden Petals falling at your feet I called you from the sidewalk Looking at you from your street Fallen beauty of the sea Fallen beauty do you see me? Fallen beauty of the sea Fallen beauty…. Fallen beauty of the sea Fallen beauty do you see me? Fallen beauty of the sea Fallen beauty…. (Lyrics by Jay Gauvin)

So many days spent wandering Wandering in a grey haze So many dead-end pathways Winding in a twisted maze But I feel alive for a fleeting moment I feel alive for a fleeting moment Moving backwards, in circles And sideways There seems to be no end to this flightless phase Until the grey haze parts And allows the rays to penetrate And I feel alive for a fleeting moment I feel alive for a fleeting moment Yet nothing can stay So I walk away Until another day I walk away
