Remember when you heard it, you didn't think about it |
|
You opened up your ears and listened |
|
Felt it smashing through the pretense, through scabs of inhibition |
|
That the world stitched to your shoulder like a mission |
|
It echoed like lips meeting and it fluctuated violently |
|
Filled your heart and lungs up with redemption |
|
Kind of like an ending but more like a beginning |
|
And even though you're losing then you're winning |
|
If you say oh |
|
Remember this forever |
|
All that matters is a song |
|
Singing "I will be with you |
|
Everywhere you go |
|
Every little thing you do |
|
Our love is here to stay |
|
Even when the skies are gray |
|
Even when I'm away |
|
I'll be with you." |
|
Now you're so much older, so mature and insecure |
|
You've grown out of yourself and into something else |
|
Oh you crazy rebel tell me is this what you want to be |
|
Would it kill you to be shameless? |
|
If you say oh |
|
Just scream this in defiance from the bottom of your lungs |
|
What ever happened to the rock in roll in your eyes? |
|
Oh I know its somewhere in you underneath the veil of lies |
|
Oh why do you hide them, your rock and roll eyes? |
|
They're crazy |
|
Eardrums are like elephants, they don't forget the things they hear |
|
And veins still carry fragments of the things fed to your ear |
|
Let me do the honors and welcome you back to mankind |
|
Just turn on the stereo and unwind |
|
It goes "I will always love you." |
|
And as for taking it in stride:. |
