Talking Of Michelangelo lyrics

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,
A night 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.

The 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]

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.

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.
