By the harbor
I harbor the strangest memories
Older than I could ever be
Stranded in nostalgiaSo tonight Ill try harder
But it's hard to fix this spotlight on me
In a cast that's taken places
Im unsure of where I want to beStand up, stand up
And stand down
I'll climb El Captain
And jump off to cheers from the crowdStand up, stand up
And stand out
And I hope you take your camera
To photograph my tears as they hit the groundNo one even listens
The same way that no one ever laughs
I'm taking the car out of the snow
And wondering where the summer went to circled by your secretsI'm hoping they don't include me
At least I'm in good company
Because there's no one else around
Except meStand up, stand up
And stand out
I'll climb El Captain
Just to watch the world slow itselfStand up, stand up
And stand out
And I hope you took your camera
Silence makes the loudest soundIt seems far too easy to say the same things
Ill choose my own way to use my life up
Finally found a new way, say the same things
In imaginary ways, Ill use my life upYou were looking at pictures in the distance
Hoping to see the future in your pictures
Of the distance, hoping to see
The future looking at pictures in the distanceHoping to see the future through your pictures
Of the distance hoping to see
The future looking at pictures in the distance
Hoping to see the future in your picturesOf the distance, hoping to see
The future looking at pictures in the distance
Hoping to see the future in your pictures
