Sometimes it’s hard to find that perfect opening line    when you’ve got too much on your mind    how do I turn this into poetry    I wanna say something about this strange dream that I dreamt    where all around the world I went    I tried to run and no one followed me       Today I sat on your porch and waited for you to come home    and the cars they drove along    one by one in endless lines    transporting papers, pills, and children back and forth    from south to north    a caravan of separates lives       And then I felt how small we are oh    then I felt how small we are oh       Baby bay take me out    tonight tonight the stars are bright    the world is made of glass and ice and maybe soon it’ll all be shattered    make me feel like I belong like I matter to someone    and feel a little less alone come on let’s be alone together       I’m thinking nobody will miss us when we’re gone    well, for a while, but not for long    people will sing without us listening    and people will drink and laugh on sunny afternoons    on those first sweet days of June    before the northern wind start drifting in    can you feel how small we are oh    can you feel how small we are oh       baby baby take me out tonight tonight the stars are bight    and maybe maybe we’re not gonna matter more than this, not ever    maybe maybe no one will ever find the traces we might leave behind    but tonight I just don’t mind    come on let’s be alone together    can you feel how small we are    don’t you know how small we are
