Lyrics More Than an Echo -

More Than an Echo

I wish we could’ve been there
I never could shed yesterday’s skin
When the «until next times» turn into «I may never see you agains» we vow to
remember that
It’ll always be more than a sound to us and we’ll hold close every word we said
It’s in the action and the first step you take when you walk off that plank
And you know that it’s over but it’s truly just beginning
It’s that conflicting feeling that strikes when you haven’t slept in days
And you’re left stumbling out of the van half-awake
Knowing an old familiar face will redeem that faith before morning steals us
away
Maybe (maybe) we walk off with dignity
Every fight outweighed by the belief in what this meant
Even if there’s nothing left of you and me here
It was for the kids who lost all faith in this life
And those who beat their heads against the wall
You can take the ideal to the world outside and we’ll kiss these rooms goodbye
As we tip our hats to half-mast flags and moments of silence
And farewell hugs on the steps outside will remind us of what we leave behind
We could still be a movement.
There’s so much more to say
We don’t have to die in Jackson’s shade before the crossing with this marrow of
doubt in our bones
Romanticizing the beliefs we thought we couldn’t hold as we grew older
Old man, can’t you see-
We all ache, we all need, we all mourn, we’re all losing
What is the same of me is the same of you
I’ll hold here
