I found a penny in the street today But all my dreams have flown away I wrote a note but lost the pen I'm talking circles once again I saw the city lights go dim The neon signs they start to swim My shadow dances in the night But nothing ever feels quite right All the things that I can't touch Are the ones I miss too much Every time I close my eyes I see a world of bittersweet goodbyes I took a walk along the shore But the ocean asked for more The sand slipped through my hands so fast I tried to hold on but it couldn't last There's a place where the colors blend Where broken hearts they start to mend But my ticket there is out of date I'm stuck here knocking on the gate I hear the echoes in my head Of every little word you said They bounce around like rubber balls Breaking all the fragile walls
