Never Wanted Much Perhaps
Perhaps I just want to be alone
Perhaps I just want somebody
Perhaps I just want to be home
Perhaps I just want to be free
So much distance… so much truth
So much me… so much you
So much confusion… yet much it soothes
And so much to yet begin anew
I wanted to fall away
I wanted to remain
I wanted so much for you to stay
I never wanted for us to begin again
We are never who we are to define
I am never who I am to ever learn
You are never who you are in time
We are never who to earnestly yearn
Perhaps I just want to be alone
With so much to yet begin anew
I wanted a different kind of home
With never more a different me and you
