This gray sky swimming above
I can't do anything right...

Back when I lived in an unhappy place
Back when I was just a kid...

Around my heart, I built a wall
So no one could break through...

Now I know you want to get together
But I've got some rules, boy...

Dreams are scarcely staying
With the wind they flee from you...

I think that I'm in love
I think you've pulled the lever...

A poet's work is full of dreams
Words in the perfect blend...

Why are you acting so sad?
There's not a smile in sight...

In that darkened corner
Just around that bend...

I look over at you
And you glance back at me...

I look down at my skin
Peach with a tannish hue...

I'm not sure I can take it
But I just figure...
