    Lyrics
    I wonder down these streets all by myself
    Think of my future now
    I just don't know
    I don't seem to care
    I stop to notice that
    I'm by your home
    I wonder if you're sitting all alone
    Or is your boyfriend there

    Because I feel so right
    Let my imagination go
    Until you're in my sight
    And through my veins temptation flows

    So I sit down here on the hard concrete
    Think of my future now
    I just don't know
    I don't seem to care So I sit across the street from your home
    I wonder if you're sitting all alone
    Or is your boyfriend there
