[00:22.12] I recall once on the church steps
[00:24.22] When I moved to kiss your chest
[00:26.55] How we paid such close attention
[00:29.02] To each sweet and stuttered breath
[00:31.36] I should've stopped to paint our picture
[00:33.90] Captured honest, pure affection
[00:36.19] Just to document the difference
[00:38.66] Between attraction and connection
[00:41.28] I can see all of my friends
[00:43.09] And I break into empty buildings
[00:45.75] When the coast was clear
[00:47.44] With backpacks full of beer
[00:49.34] We'd throw our bottles from the rooftops
[00:51.94] At this city, it looked endless
[00:54.14] Guess I still don't see the difference
[00:56.58] Between real purpose and that urgent adolescence
[01:00.24] And I remember, in a basement
[01:02.52] Sharing sweat with all these stranger boys and girls
[01:05.87] "We'll change the world," we sang
[01:07.72] "We'll change the world"
[01:09.03] But nothing seems to change
[01:10.95] And they say none of them will listen
[01:13.27] But I still see much more power in that basement
[01:17.17] Than in heartless politicians
[01:19.39] If we get beaten by this winter
[01:21.78] If we get strangled by regret
[01:24.12] Just let our love of life and tension
[01:26.32] Gasp in sweet and stuttered breaths
[01:28.88] And have them lay us in a basement
[01:31.28] Smash some bottles on the ground
[01:33.60] And say we couldn't tell the difference
[01:35.90] Between the feeling and the sound
[01:38.46] Remember not our faulty pieces
[01:41.03] Remember not our rusted parts
[01:43.46] It's not the petty imperfections that define us
[01:47.12] But the way we hold our hearts
[01:49.75] And the way we hold our heads
[01:51.75] I hope they write your names beside mine
[01:54.48] On my gravestone when I'm dead
[01:56.67] And when we are dead, let our voices carry on
[02:00.16] To find a better song
[02:01.97] To find a better song and sing along
[02:05.06] Sing along
[02:06.12]
