[00:01.472] [Verse 1]
[00:04.548] There is no beginning to the story
[00:06.845] A bookshelf sinks into the sand
[00:09.530] And a language learned and forgot, in turn
[00:11.770] Is studied once again
[00:14.079] It's a shocking bit of footage
[00:16.018] Viewed from a shitty TV screen
[00:18.974] You can squint at it through snowy static
[00:22.010] To make out the meaning
[00:23.961] And just keep on stretching the antenna
[00:26.215] Hoping that it will come clear
[00:28.722] We need some reception, a higher message
[00:31.277] Tell us what to fear
[00:33.144] Cause I don't know what tomorrow brings
[00:37.591] It's alive with such possibilities
[00:42.020] All I know is I feel better when I sing
[00:47.390] Burdens are lifted from me, that's my voice rising
[01:09.865] So Michael, please keep the tape rolling
[01:12.244] Boys keep strumming those guitars
[01:14.587] We need a record of our failures
[01:16.617] Yes, we must document our love
[01:18.782] I've sat too long in my silence
[01:21.238] Have grown too old in my pain
[01:23.694] To shed this skin, be born again
[01:26.053] It starts with an ending
[01:27.971] So thank you friends for the time we shared
[01:32.664] My love stays with you like sunlight and air
[01:37.159] Oh I truly wish I could keep hanging around here
[01:42.873] but my joy is covering me, soon I will disappear
[02:06.401] We're not a movie, no private screening
[02:10.932] This method acting, well, I call that living, yeah
[02:15.682] It's like a fountain, a door has been opened
[02:20.120] We got a problem with no solution
[02:23.760] But to love, to love and to be loved
[02:28.983] So, I've made peace with the falling leaves
[02:33.270] I see their same fate in my own body
[02:37.678] I won't be frightened when I'm awoken from this dream
[02:43.621] And returned to that which gave birth to me
[03:02.158] And the story goes, and the story goes
[03:06.108] And it goes on and on and on and on
[03:08.582] It's going on and on and on and on (x6)
