When I was a young boy I tried to listen And I want to feel like that Little white shadows blink and missed them Part of the system, I am If you ever feel like something's missing Things you'll never understand Little white shadows sparkle and glisten Part of a system, a plan All this noise, I'm waking up All this space I'm taking up All this sound is breaking up Whoa oh Maybe you'll get what you wanted Maybe you'll stumble upon it Everything you ever wanted In a permanent state Maybe you'll know when you see it Maybe if you say it you'll mean it And when you find it you'll keep it In a permanent state A permanent state When I was a young boy I tried to listen Don't you wanna feel like that You're part of the human race All of the stars and the outer space Part of the system plan All this noise, I'm waking up All this space I'm taking up I cannot hear, you're breaking up Whoa oh Maybe you'll get what you wanted Maybe you'll stumble upon it Everything you ever wanted In a permanent state Maybe you'll know when you see it Maybe if you say it, you'll mean it And when you find it you'll keep it In a permanent state A permanent state Swimming on a sea of faces A tide of the human race So, an answer now is what I need I see it in the new sun rising I see it break on your horizon Oh, come on love, stay with me
