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 dreamt 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

I’ll just close my eyes, for a slow surprise

 

I prayed with a gypsy, I slept with a saint

I wanted a Pollack splashed on my wall without any paint

I looked for a feeling, I only found numb

I put a “welcome” mat at my door so no one would come

 

I wanted New York, I dreamt 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

I’ll just close my eyes, for a slow surprise

 

I waited for Christmas, without all the lights

I rolled up a smoke what a joke, I’m so scared of heights

 

I wanted New York, I dreamt of Berlin

I ran with no shoes in the icy rain to catch paper planes

I ran with no shoes in the icy rain to catch paper planes

 

And I don’t know how, I got lost here now

And I don’t know how, I got lost here now

 

Don’t tell me to close my eyes, when there’s no surprise

 

I wanted New York, I dreamt of Berlin
