lyrics

Some people are planets
You take time to explore
You dream about colonizing
You map their ocean floors

Some people are comets
Who seem to recur
They’re gone, they’re here, they're gone again
Their love is bright but never sure

There’s a sadness I feel tonight
That weighs me down like a stone
And there’s not a star in the sky
That could make me feel less alone
Cause I’m lonely for the man I thought I’d be

Anyone with an ounce of compassion
Will say you can’t waste your time
Living life like it’s a book to be read
Pleasing critics with a story sublime

But show me a person who doesn’t
Have a dream of them self
A vision of lands they might conquer
Or trophies to fill their shelf

I know the morning sunrise
Will make everything look alright
But tonight I have the misfortune
Of seeing myself in the harshest light
And I’m lonely for the man I thought I’d be

Sometimes I’m hungry for
The taste of my regrets
I guess that means this round’s on me
I’ll even buy the cigarettes

I don’t miss the people who’ve left me
I see them in the stars
Or the worlds I’ll never return to
I still have memories, I still have scars
But I’m lonely for the man I thought I’d be
And I’m lonely for the man I thought I’d be

Wayne & Rodney Los Angeles, California

Wayne & Rodney is, perhaps confusingly, Will Hines and Joel Spence. Will brought some songs to Joel, and asked him to produce them. Instead, they made a band.
