Love Plus

Taking a walk by the train tracks late at night
A beer in my bag
And pen and paper but I left my phone at home
It isn’t halfway so romantic 
as I thought that it could be
It’s mostly awkward but I’ll keep on walking
Cuz at least it helps me think

Each time I try another great leap forward
My knees get one more scar
If this is the year 2004 
Then I want my flying car
And everything else they promised to me
Or at least a path to follow for me
Or at least a world that made some sense
Or at least some change to pay my rent

All I’ve got is you now
Beautiful thing

Hoping that maybe a future shock will be 
waiting at the end
That time and space can roll on over 
and start at zero again
And we won’t need their standardization
And we’ll reject their centralization
And dreams can be our specialization
And we could reset civilization

All I’ll need is you there
Beautiful dream
