Nothing sounds like the source Time shows the force When the echo comes around I turn everything down I leave things in the past Hope the ringing doesn't last Get inside the cocoon Try to change my tune But the words I left behind Are still there for me to find I can still hear what I was meant to be I'm the reflection of a dream I had when I was 15 The boy waits inside of me To set him free Laying in the sand He takes my hand Shows me where the sound began The child makes the man Ripples in an endless sea Reverberate a destiry Oh send me to eternity Not gone Only changed I was a boy I used to sing That sound won't die like me Those old songs stay I can still hear the things I used to say Sounds ripple through an age To grow or be replaced You can hear the meanings change The spirit resonates Gave myself away Handed down to replay Stay inside what I became Live two lives the same way The words I left behind Are still there for me to find I still can hear what I was meant to be The records we used to play Still erupt still vibrate The frequency decays But the fidelity remains So in the end when the song starts to fade I'm still the boy in the middle of the wave Only changed I was a boy I used to sing That sound won't die with me Those old songs stay I can still be the boy I used to be I'm an echo So young so old Never let go Of what you outgrow I'm an echo I'm an echo I'm an echo I'm an echo
