Hey kid at the show tonight--
The face beyond the barricade
How ya dance and ya sing to every single line
Like it was you up on that stage.
I need to know your secret,
I'm asking you for help.
How do I fall in love with anything
Like you seem to do so well?
I gotta get back to when it came out
The way it was supposed to sound
Before money was ever changing hands
And my feet were on the ground.When I could feel the wind's direction,
When I knew what songs to sing.And he said, "Try not to get upset.
Let it all go by.
Because how can it be that bad,
If we're all gonna die?"So I started to think about
That girl that disappeared,
And if really was the road that pulled me away
Or if I'm still a victim of my fears.
How she showed me the machinery.
That our words protect us from
How she could keep me in the moment
How that's all there ever was.
I should call and ask to see her
Even if it's just a couple days
I could meet her out in Georgia
Or she could fly out to LAAnd if the plane goes down on her way to me,
I think I know how she would react.She'd smile and close her eyes and
Think about her life
While some voice screaming in the back,
"We're all gonna die."So try not to get upset.
Everything is fine.
