He was going through the motions
Bereft of expectation or belief
He had no need for supervision
His head filled with diversions, sweet and brief
Woah, and though he thought he knew it all
When he saw that different girl he realized
His ignorance, it knew no bounds
His thesis built on shaky ground
For in those eyes
He saw light, he saw love
He saw countless possibilities he had only dared dream of
'Til the moment that she stepped into the life
Of the desultory boy
He found himself so far from home
Decided it was time to start anew
But comfort's short-lived, cold as stone
When you're waking up in unfamiliar rooms
No there's nothing quite as empty as
The loveless kiss that desperate strangers share
He kept count of all the broken hearts
Left in the wake of his despair
Still he saw light, he saw love
He saw countless possibilities he had only dared dream of
'Til the moment that she stepped into the life
Of the desultory boy
We dream the dream of endless love
But grow lazy and complacent in its glow
And upon our waking we discover so many worlds
That we have yet to know
Oh we seek light, we seek love
We seek countless possibilities we only dare dream of
'Til the moment we find we are not alone
Like the desultory boy
Oh he found light, he found love
He found countless possibilities that he'd only dared dream of
'Til the moment that she stepped into the life
Of the desultory boy
