| 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: |
