Lyrics

See how you run so fast
I know you wish your grace could always last
Still you graze on your fields of all that dry grass

So I put on my best suit and tie
And drive you through the crowded city street at night
We’ll make the most out of our fleeting lifetimes
The sturdy trees have all turned green

And these summer songs
They make me feel like it’s all okay
Like there’s some kind of meaning to this sorrow
Yes I feel like it’s meant to be this way
And none of this could ever last
But you know if you wanted to I think I could just stay right here with you
Just for a while

But you drop some bottle on a hardwood floor
The glass shatters with those dreams and scatters with the crowd
And I’d say something but all it would do is bring you down

This youthful dread, you see
It puts some years on a boy like me
And these things don’t make me feel
Quite as alive as they do you

But I’m breathing out
I close my eyes and I’m breathing in
Some days I cry about it
You know I don’t want to let you in-
None of you, I think you’re all crazy, but
You know I think you could be right

Cause I’ve got a love song in the back of my mind
I’ve got a heartbeat, still in time
These are the moments that I adore
This is the freedom we’ve been waiting for
So why am I still waiting?

I suppose you were right
Being spun around in a fast car at night
Reminded me I was still alive

You never mind it when you’re young
That holy feeling in your lungs
I wasn’t scared of dying back then

But if you think about it
Ain’t it all about getting by?
You see my mind’s so empty
Still I feel so full of life
I can’t explain these things to you
No, these things they cannot be told
There is a reason
I don’t want to die before I grow old

I’ve got two hearts now instead of one
Beating in time to funeral drums
Playing old slow songs one by one
And this slow dance feels like a setting sun;
Still so beautiful
