A Boy You Once Knew

Verse:
Into the maelstrom I went
Everywhere I could perceive sensations
I wanted to touch it
I wanted to hold the world in my arms

Chorus:
But I have failed
I did not exist there
I have failed
Just an apparition
A man to be written of inside their books
A boy you once knew in a dream
Verse II:

And to the dearest of hearts
As much as I enjoyed you loving me subconsciously
I do feel it best we abstain from such behavior

Chorus II:
Because I have failed
I did not exist in you
I go in one ear and out the other one
You'll think of me when your strumming guitars
A boy you once knew in a dream

Outro:
I have the whole picture out here
But I can't touch it
