Lets pretend for just one moment that
I am the closest thing you've ever had
And can you believe that theres more to see
In a second then you've ever seen in your life

So sit a little close while I describe just
How to open up your eyes and see
Lets pretend for just one moment that
I am the closest thing you've ever had
And can you believe that theres more to see
In a second then you've ever seen in your life

So sit a little close while
I describe just how to open up your eyes and see
It doesn't hurt to change your mind
The world can be a better place
If you knew from the start, what you'd do, who you are
Might not forget to pay attention

Love your friends, do your best, life will carry the rest
Find a girl, be her world, and pay attention
Endless possibilities make it hard for you to start
When I'm hearing what you're saying
But cant make out the words
Were all in this together
And if you could do everything
Than the hardest part is doing anything at all

Weapons fire around the planet
And end up heading straight for your heart
You feel the pain of others as they bleed that old familiar symptom
As hate consumes everything that you know
Its time to change your mind so we can breathe
So we can breathe

Does it sink in?
Does it penetrate your thick skin like a thousand
Knives thrown throughout your spine?
Does it make your hair stand up?
Does it make you think twice before walking out your door?
It doesn't feel the way you'd like it to

But in the end we could look back, and see where we went wrong
Once you realize that you're a deciding factor in our future
Then things can cancel out and leave us in peace
I'll be here
And I'll be waiting for you to come around
