I wanted to find an angel
And I wanted to know the world
See a thousand places
And know over a billion words
I wanted to swim beneath the ocean
And dive into the sky
I wanted to find forever
Wherever it may lie
I wanted to seal my heart ache
To mend a broken woe
I wanted to find the longest path
And follow where it may go
I wanted to bathe in starlight
Sleep up on the moon
I wanted to find my future
I wanted to find you too
I never found an angel
I was stuck, locked up at home
I only saw a couple places
That everyone's come to know
I never reached the ocean
I only looked up to the sky
My forever quickly faded,
Moving sadly out of sight
I never fixed my heart
I broke it even more
That pathway was a dud,
It took me to my door
The city drowned the stars
And the moon I couldn't find
My futre was non-existand
And you...
I was out of time

Very nice! I enjoyed the patterns of
