I see you cross the street and
Now you look the other way
To find the same mistakes
You wave at me and
Now you want to find another way
To run away one last time

The way you are and how you look and how you get along
With everyone
Has got me waiting in this cold bench for the fall to come
On the summer gone
Or the winter
Or the lonely rainy days when we wore slippers
We were silly
For a fever
Or the dreams we didn't reach ’cause we were not
Believers

The city will be always half asleep
And always dreaming of the sea
It changes all the time, do you see?
It's been the same for you and me

You got me waiting in this old couch for the fall to come
Or the sun to fall
Or a phone call
From your mother asking for her beloved daughter
Over and over
For a door knock
Or the things left undone 'cause we were not
Real lovers

The city will be always half asleep
And always dreaming of the sea
It changes all the time, you see?
It’s been the same for you and me
