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
