letters to strangers four

Hey you

Yeah you

Looking for all the world like you own them all

But I know better

Or, at least, I used to

You and me, babycakes, we could have shown them

Wiped the rain-spattered streets with their sorry excuses for dreams

There’s no use wasting time on easy things.

We could have shown the world what we could do

You and me, babycakes,

Me and you

For once, we would be what’s right in the world

No longer the silly little outcasts

We could have changed the world

Written out the hopes we never dared to have

Painted the sky in the colors of dreams

But then the sad truth sank in

The world didn’t want us

And we didn’t really want us either.
