Want to Be

Want to Be

want to be the stars

want to be the sky

want to be the love

within your eye

want to be a letter

on a sheet of white

...or the darkness in the night

could I be a reason why?

or a dark and simple lie?

would I be the past?

...more than you have asked

I'd like to be a dream

inside your head

...or a book that you just read

can I be your words?

want to be your blue

want to be your rain

everything in vain
