You make me feel
Like a face among thousands forgettable faces
Like the receding skyline
Vasting the wan evening light

You make me feel
Like a step back among thousands advances
Like a word whispered in the night
So inaudible it becomes a sigh

You make me feel
Like the world would be just fine if I hadn’t existed
Like a teardrop when it falls in the rain
is it a drop lost or an ocean gained?

You pass me by
Our shadows fall while evenings die
I step forth to you I step back
An erring tear flies from my I catch

You make me feel
like a face among thousands forgettable faces
like a step back among thousands steps forth
like silence goldens thousands worthless ores

you make me feel
like the world would be just fine if I hadn't existed
like a tear drop when it falls in the rain
is it a drop lost or an ocean gained?

You pass me by
our shadows fall while evenings die
I step forth to you I step back
an erring tear flies from my I catch.
