Wander Me

 

Just when I think you’re part of this dream or part of this nightmare

You wake me up and pull the sheets off the corner to remind me . . .

That this isn’t over.

 

When I’m with him you wander me.

Whether it be with him or in some transition.

There you are in his face, in the mirror, in the bathtub, even after I leave. . .you wander me.

At night in my sleep you wander me.

In the lake by the deep end you wander me.

The angle of this memory wanders me.

All of eternity. . .you wander me.

Against the wall where you hold me is where you wander me.

The wolf at the end of the path with nowhere to run free, just like him you wander me.

In the summer at night by the garden is where I’ll be and still you wander me.

Under the table or by the piano,

You ask me if he knows but the hell if I know,

You say that you can’t do this, and you say this has to stop,

So, I go to bed because when I plead but you just stand there frozen watching me bleed.

But I still remember the day that you told me I was too young,

That day at the studio, watching you walk to hair and make-up, it’s not fair

Because Time slowed down and I never did wake up.

The day that I met you, reading your script I was in wow or some kind of love or some kind of lust,

You asked my name, I spoke it out, but three weeks later I have you here, in my home, in my house, oh God what do we do now.

Because it’s only a matter of time before you find that I’ve been in love with you my whole life

On the cinema screen or on the tube I watched you never knowing that one day I’d be telling you I love you even though you have your wife

Why can’t you do this, why can’t you leave her

You say I’m stubborn you say I’m wrong

Because I shouldn’t leave him because he’s so young

You say I can have a life with him, but I’d rather be alone

I can’t do it because if I’m with him I’m only a guest but when I’m with you I’m home

I say I hate you; you say you love me; you know I’m lying, there’s no denying,

 I could never leave you you’ll have to leave me I have to have you even though your mine I can’t focus if she’s on the other line

Come to me, home to me, in between eternity and infinity

Home, home to me far from eternity and passed eternity

Come to me, home to me, in between eternity and infinity

Infinity. Eternity. Memory. Remedy. Fantasy. Missing me. Older than me. Magically. Lovingly. Carefully. Dreadfully.

 In everything your everywhere

And for all of eternity

You wander me
