Verse: Into the maelstrom I went Everywhere I could perceive sensations I wanted to touch it I wanted to hold the world in my arms
Chorus: But I have failed I did not exist there I have failed Just an apparition A man to be written of inside their books A boy you once knew in a dream Verse II:
And to the dearest of hearts As much as I enjoyed you loving me subconsciously I do feel it best we abstain from such behavior
Chorus II: Because I have failed I did not exist in you I go in one ear and out the other one You'll think of me when your strumming guitars A boy you once knew in a dream
Outro: I have the whole picture out here But I can't touch it
