People I Won't Meet

The radio that I found
Doesn't work
Plugged it in
It didn't make a sound
The novel that I found
Has no words
It's all blank
I guess the story drowned

But sometimes when I wake up from a dream
I think these things belong to me
I think that living's so easy
Then I remember where I am

The car that I dreamt of
Doesn't run
Engine's shot
I really thought I won
The pictures that I took
Are of no one
Nameless faces smiling in the sun

But sometimes when I wake up from a dream
I think these things belong to me
I think that living's so easy
Then I remember where I am

I'm not quite discontent
I wouldn't say that
It's just that when I think of all I thought were mine
Won't say that I'm lonely
I don't mean that
It's just that when I think of all the people I won't meet
I get a little ah

The record that I stole
It won't play
It's too old
The songs are worn away
The voices that I heard
Seem to say
Come with us
But now they're far away
