You asked if I was alone I asked you in what sense You rolled your eyes in defense I said darling we're all just embers Burning out into the ground Then you frowned You cut me off in the middle Of my mind at law Where I was trying to be Some kind of man you'd read on Pages deep in Hemingway But you walked away But even when I try to tell you I feel foolish My words are useless And I would like to change your mind Just like the movies You move right through me Yeah And I don't mind And I don't mind And with the sip of a drink I felt it fall away I could feel in the air I could feel the ground just move Like walls and windows Everyone is watching And for a moment the strength Was in the palm of my hand I could change the feel I could change the feel Of everything you ever wanted now Just give me a chance baby But even when I try to tell you I feel foolish My words are useless And even when we come together In your eyes I think I see god And I don't mind And I don't mind In a blink We're on the pavement Elementary education I could write and clean up proper Yes Eat the things I could never offer I'm just a boy who wants to be I'm just a boy who wants to be Someone And I don't mind
