She sees the same trains as me three minutes before
Her eyes are painted in my head louder and louder and brighter and brighter until I can barely think anymore
Her name is poetry and music and she doesn't even know
I've tried so hard for so long just to try and tell her so
I've walked until I tripped and fell
Into the arms of gold and green
I've bathed in gla**, but could not tell
What kind of harm it brought to me
In another life so long ago it was barely even me
This neighborhood used to be my home and I used to know every rock, every sidewalk, and every tree
And now I see her there when she's walking around and, you know, she reminds me so much of how I used to be
I'd like to reach down and pluck her out of her world and put her in mine right here next to me, next to me, yeah
I've walked until I slipped and fell
Into the arms of gold and green
I've bathed in gla**, but could not tell
What kind of harm it brought to me
I'm in love with the princess of Patterson Blvd.
She don't even see me, yeah
One invisible boy screams to one beautiful girl,
"Stop looking around; I'm down here; I exist. Please won't you let me in your world?"
I wanna see you and be seen with you
Break through my shackled scream with you
Oh, if you let me, yeah, you'll never, you'll never, you'll never
