Talking of Michaelangelo

[Verse 1] The sidewalk's cracked and dirty face Is looking up from underneath my feet It's staring at the hallow broken boy Who's lost and wandering these city streets And every night I wander here alone Tonight that we won't meet [Chorus] I wonder when, when I'll finally understand Why time can wash away love like it was made of sand And it's wonderful, the pain that comes with regret Sometimes you have to see the beauty in all of this loneliness [Verse 2] Streetlights flicker and they fade Like every good intention that I've had And every face that passes through my mind And I'll be struggling with these same old dreams Until the concrete turns to sand And I'm swept up by the waves [Chorus] I wonder when, when I'll finally understand Why time can wash away love like it was made of sand And it's wonderful, the pain that comes with regret Sometimes you have to see the beauty in all of this loneliness [Bridge] There's only so many chances that you get To do something that's this important Now I'd rather sink than swim Sewer grates keep spitting up their steam Exhaling all the broken dreams I've flushed away [Outro] And I wonder when, when I'll bow out Wash me away like I was made of sand And it's wonderful It's wonderful
