Unrequited Love (A Had-In-My-Head Song For The New Year)
If there is a love out there/I just want a messenger to tell me to believe in it//If there is some sort of redemption to my wasted life/I want to know if I can find it in a kiss//If there is a wish on a breeze/I want to be the whisper to catch it on its trip//I want to fall//I want to drown in this supposed love that they say I'd have//I thought I used to smell it on my clothes/But with the wash, it washed away/And this girl I knew, went and faded on with it//
You know/I bet you'd remember the girl I knew//Her hold was so strong, you felt it/Shivered down the spine and tingled in your boots/It's all I could think to feel at the moment it came//She made me feel I belonged to a wind/Carried me along, and swept me away/I could've sworn I'd seen her in a dream I had//Then she made my face grow long/Carried me not so strong, and I wept it away/So if this supposed love ever came back, I swept it away//You know how it goes//
You know//How it goes//It goes//
So if there is a love out there/I just want that smell again to catch my clothes//If there is a hurtful heart out there/Waiting to break me/I just want it to catch my cold//'Cause my face grew long/While the days grew long/I never thought I was too strong anyway//To fend off the cold//By myself//But you know how it flows//
You know//How it flows//It flows away//
And you should know/I bet you remember the girl I knew//The girl who flew/Away but not too far//From you//And from me//
Who taught me how to wander//Who taught me how to wonder//If there is a love out there//Who knows?//
