about
my letter to solitude and to the city that held me through it
lyrics
i had a dream you spent new year’s with me
you flew all the way to paris for one night
you always said you’d make it here one day
and i thought that if i stayed, you just might
come and find me, come and find me
i had a dream our kids on the lawn
and your mother loving me like her own
i'll probably stop holding on to the hope
and eventually a part of me will know
you won’t come and find me, come and find me
maybe ill try sleeping with one eye
open for the rest of the night
pay close attention to the noise outside
and wait until the flashbacks subside
(oh keep fighting, keep fighting for me)
you flew all the way to paris for one night
you always said you’d make it here one day
and i thought that if i stayed, you just might
come and find me, come and find me
i had a dream our kids on the lawn
and your mother loving me like her own
i'll probably stop holding on to the hope
and eventually a part of me will know
you won’t come and find me, come and find me
maybe ill try sleeping with one eye
open for the rest of the night
pay close attention to the noise outside
and wait until the flashbacks subside
(oh keep fighting, keep fighting for me)
