I wanted New York...

Apart from the awesome music and voice, I am head over heels in love with the lyrics. It sums up my present feelings. If not entirely, partially at least. I would gladly run without shoes in the rain to catch paper planes and a Pollock's splashed on my wall might just give character to my room. :) :)

I wanted nothing

I wanted it all

I wanted green

not yellow leaves

In the fall

I wanted sugar

But I don't do sweet

I wanted a simple talking

boy with philosophy

I wanted New York

I dreamed of Berlin

I ran with no shoes in the icy rain

to catch paper planes

And I don't know how 

I got lost here now

So I close my eyes 

for a slow surprise

I prayed with a gypsy

I slept with a saint

I wanted a Pollock's splashed 

on my wall without any paint

I looked for a feeling

I only found numb.

I put out a welcome mat at my door 

so no one would come

I wanted New York

I dreamed of Berlin

I ran with no shoes in the icy rain

to catch paper planes

And I don't know how

I got lost now

I just close my eyes 

for a slow surprise

I waited for Christmas

without all the lights

I rolled up a snow-pot of jokes

I'm too scared of heights.

I wanted New York

I dreamed of Berlin

I ran with no shoes in the rain

to catch paper planes

And I don't know how

I got lost now

Don't tell me to close my eyes

when there's no surprise

I wanted New York

I dreamed of Berlin.
