I wish I could feel something
Rather than be like stone,
I wish I could feel nothing
But then I'd be alone,

I wish I could have everything
And yet still be poor,
I wish I still had your love
But then I couldn't ask for more,

Dreaming's not like planning,
The end will never come,
Dreaming's not like travel,
You don't know where you're from,

Dreaming's more like dying
Because you'll remain dead,
And dreams will never empty
From all the corners in your head
This is something I wrote a long time ago when i wrote my E's like backward 3's and my Y's with a C in their tail. (yes, i keep track of the time by my handwriting style as it changes every few months). I edited the last stanza because the original didn't really make sense but other than that this is how I had written it.

I'll leave it open to interpretation (and I'd love to see yours below) but the title kind of says it all.
