about

To me, this song is about (in ten words or less):

The simple choice in life between fear and love

lyrics

Lately, I've been thinking
Good thoughts to keep me occupied
Keeping songs and stories
To keep you out, I shut my eyes

Lately, I've been breaking
The edges cracked and crumbling
And all the words I've taken
Don't keep my tongue from mumbling a prayer
For you, and all your doubts

Lately, I can't think straight
I tell myself the lies I want to hear
Just to operate
And keep me in the dark from all my fears
And you, and all your mouths

Don't remain unchanged
Know that your life will remain
And if you want love, then give love away
Only your life will remain

Nations are collapsing
Cities fall and don't get up again
And if you were asking
Yes, there will be hell to pay and then
We'll start to build our lives again

Don't remain unchanged
Know that your life will remain
And if you want love, then give love away
Only your life will remain
