how i wish you could see the potential

"how i wish you could see the potential,
the potential of you and me.
it's like a book elegantly bound,
but in a language that you can't read - just yet.

you gotta spend some time, love,
you gotta spend some time with me.
and i know that you'll find, love,
i will possess your heart,
i will possess your heart.

there are days when outside your window,
i see my reflection as i slowly pass.
and i long for this mirrored perpective,
when we'll be lovers,
lovers at last.

you gotta spend some time, love,
you gotta spend some time with me.
and i know that you'll find, love,
i will possess your heart,
i will possess your heart.

i will possess your heart,
i will possess your heart.

you reject my advances,
and desperate pleas.
i won't let you,
let me down so easily,
so easily.

you gotta spend some time, love,
you gotta spend some time with me.
and i know that you'll find, love,
i will possess your heart,
i will possess your heart.

i will possess your heart,
i will possess your heart."

oh my stars, the new death cab for cutie is fucking amazing. and this video, the mood set in a way that is reminiscent of lost in translation, and the girl in it, so much like charlotte, wandering around in a city alone, in search of her self. something about that, it pulls at my inner workings, and my desires to just be free.
