I Missed Seeing the City

I went out with the lanterns

Looking for myself

I was dying to see me

Cause dying is wealth

I was chiming on the porch of her door

I was wanting for her

Til my wanting got bored

In my dream we were on holiday

Weren't in a good place

And I missed seeing the city

I got swallowed in a big room below

Her face never showed

And I missed seeing the city

She went out on her own

Waited in party clothes

And I missed seeing the city

Can't go back to what's broke

But it's anguish alone

So I missed seeing the city

I went fishing for fortune

Digging through my purse

I was trying to feel, but the feeling got worse

Now I'm chiming on the porch of her door

I was wanting for her, but my wanting was poor

In my dream we were on holiday

Weren't in a good place

And I missed seeing the city

I got swallowed in a big room below

Her face never showed

And I missed seeing the city

She went out on her own

Waited in party clothes

And I missed seeing the city

Can't go back to what's broke

But it's anguish alone

So I missed seeing the city

A dream without a plan is just a wish

So I went to the bar

But she wouldn't turn her head from the high stool

I yelled you said you loved me but she heard it as demand

That's not a plan

The plane never lands

Now I'm stuck in the cabin

Clenching my hand til I'm free to move around

In my dream we were on holiday

Weren't in a good place

And I missed seeing the city

I got swallowed in a big room below

Her face never showed

And I missed seeing the city

She went out on her own

Waited in party clothes

And I missed seeing the city

Can't go back to what's broke

But it's anguish alone

So I missed seeing the city
