Searching For New Lyrics

I look for love in the gaze of others

When I meet eyes with strangers on the bus

When I pass by people on busy streets

Hoping that when our eyes meet

The sensation of love

Will make itself known

But no matter who I seek

I never feel the soundscapes and colours

So many times described to me by others

So many times displayed in music and poetry

I'm much more often met with bleak

So I'm searching for new

I'm stopping myself from expecting too much

I'm trying to erase what I think of as love

Telling myself that okay is enough

It's time to learn it all like new

All my life I've wanted someone

But all my life I opened up for none

Well, how could I understand

To walk along hand in hand

I'd have to offer more than a glance

I'd have to embrace some sort of chance

And all my life I wondered what was right

Whether I should run or swim or dive or fly

Or fall into each quiet night

When I'm here

I want it to be clear

So I'm searching for new

I'm stopping myself from expecting too much

I'm trying to erase what I think of as love

Telling myself that okay is enough

It's time to learn it all like new

Time to learn it all like new
