Excerpt
Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I’m not gonna move,
Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand,
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am,
Some try to hand me money they don’t understand,

I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do,
How can I move on when I’m still in love with you… [...]
