phantoms

i want a romantic moment
a true romantic moment, no awkward strings attached
i want to be able to understand why things work the way they do
i want art to happen every time i step outside
i want to know what it takes to be that girl
i want to know what it is that i'm missing
i want to travel north america in my car; meet people and find life in every breath
i want to know how people find it so easy to be so awful to each other
i want to know if they consider the consequences when they make promises they don't intend to keep
i want the balance back, i don't want to tiptoe through life anymore.
