Met someone I knew before

The windowpane to the soul

They will never let you down

And we'd know

We've seen each other around



Doing the late night downtown crawl

Deep inside I know I'm sick and tired of it all

It comes too quick and goes too fast

Does anything ever last at all?



We're just looking for a wall to crash into

And me I'd be happy just bumping into you



Here I am and there they go

And if you ask me how I know

The oldest story in the world

Then I hope someday you'll know



That they'll never die if you never grieve

Everybody's moving to a place they gotta leave

So kill your TV and kill your phone

Be quiet and be alone with you



When technology solves apologies I will retire

With records and candles and pencils and cameras

And your soul in my eyes...
