More than once I have searched for you in dreams More than once I have found you there Down the path to where I knew you would be waiting Staring out into the dark And his words lie heavy with me Their weight has shifted something fundamental And the things I carried with me Seemed so important 'til I set them aside I have changed, I have changed, I am still changing A person's shape is a fluid thing In these dreams the shapes become clearer And you are a light in the dark And his words lie heavy with me Their weight has shifted something fundamental And the things I carried with me Seemed so important 'til I set them aside I can see this vision so clearly (I see these shapes so clearly) We meet again by chance in New York (You and I meet again) The tall buildings light up your eyes (Lost among these tall buildings) We watch the skyline as the night falls (I find a friendly face) And I wonder if I'll ever tell you (And I know I'll never tell you) You were a reason to leave and to stay So bitter so sweet (so bitter, so bitter yet so sweet) So strong and so weak Your affection's always marked with distance So bitter so sweet (so bitter, so bitter yet so sweet) Too sarcastic to reach But when you spoke your words would cut right through me And his words lie heavy with me Their weight has shifted something fundamental And the things I carried with me Seemed so important 'til I set them aside And his words lie heavy with me Their weight has shifted something fundamental And the truth I take with me now Is the truth as you gave it to me

I want you to stay, What a selfish thing to say, So I'll bite back the words, And send you on your way. I already miss you, I don't see you much these days, So it won't make much difference, Six thousand miles away, six thousand miles away. Little Pieces of you, They sneak into these songs, and I wonder if you hear them, If you've known all along That I clearly adore you, And your awkward ways, You don't seem to mind my wierdness, I guess we're both kind of strange, we're both kind of strange. The songs that make me sad are the ones that remind me of you, But I hope you don't look back 'cause you know it's the right thing to do. The thought of you still in that grey hell, breaks my heart in two, You are so much more than that. I wish you would stay, What a selfish thing to say, So I'll simply smile, And wish you well on your way.
