Fingers tap into what you were once And I'm worried that I blew my only chance While we are young And my heart Was colder when you've gone And I lost my head Under the sun You hold your truth so purely Swerve not through the minds of men

I know it can't be right When Lenin was little All the birds in the forest were singing 'Man, this is it!' But now that he's older All the sailors in the heaver are screamin "Abandon Ship" But I just smile instead Of repeating what I said

When I was older I was a sailor on an open sea But now I'm underwater And my skin is paler than it should ever be I'm on my back again Dreaming of a time and place Where you and I remain the best of friends Even after all this ends

I never try to find you I hope you don't remember me But I hope you're not alone And I don't wanna know what you're thinking I'm looking out the window Ten years older than I was When I brought you down to see What I thought would make you fall in love

When I was young Pain more painful Laughter much louder Yeah, when I was young The rooms were so much colder then My father was a soldier then And times were very hard I smoked my first cigarette at ten And for girls, I had a bad yen

Fingers tap into what you were once And I'm worried that I blew my only chance While we are young And my heart Was colder when you've gone And I lost my head Under the sun You hold your truth so purely Swerve not through the minds of men

When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself, and I Didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost So wake me up when it's all over So wake me up when it's all over Feeling my way through the darkness Guided by a beating heart I

I'm comin' over See me down at the station By the lane With my hands in my pocket Jingling a wish coin That I stole from a fountain That was drowning all the cares in the world When I get older Climbin' up on the back porch fence

When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself, and I Didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost So wake me up when it's all over So wake me up when it's all over Feeling my way through the darkness Guided by a beating heart I

Dream over, grieve no more And I breathe one last time Now I lay thee down Was it lost? Was it murdered? Within the eye of the beholder Oh, I want to know How it feels when we die Can you take me under? Oh, she watched me leave
