We've Always Wanted More

By Bruce Clifford

Like my tongue stuck to a frozen flagpole.
My mind is always stuck on you.
It’s not like we ever had a breakthrough.

I never knew what we could do.
What we could have done.

As I said before.
We’ve always wanted more.
Like two bandits in the night.
Figuring out what was always in sight.

Drifting on a silver ray.
Pointed towards the night and day.
Life is all we can explore.
We’ve always wanted more.

Like my heart attached to a string.
My mind is tied up with this dream.
It’s not like we ever had a breakthrough.

I never knew what we could do.
What we could have done.

What have we tried?
All the oceans to explore.
Memories right in front of the door.
We’ve always wanted more.
