Lyrics

I wander down these streets all by myself

Think of my future now, I just don't know

Well I don't seem to care

I stop to notice that I'm by your home

I wonder if you're sitting all alone

Or is your boyfriend there?

Because I feel so right

Let my imagination go

Until you're in my sights

And through my veins temptation flows

So I sit down here on the hard concrete

Think of my future now, I just don't know

Well I don't seem to care

I stop to notice that I'm by your home

I wonder if you're sitting all alone

Or is your boyfriend there?
