Hey kid at the show tonight
The face beyond the barricade
How ya dance and ya sing to every single line
Like it was you up on that stage

I need to know your secret
I'm asking you for help
How do I fall in love with anything
Like you seem to do so well?

I gotta get back to when it came out
The way it was supposed to sound
Before money was ever changing hands
And my feet were on the ground
When I could feel the wind's direction
When I knew what songs to sing

And he said, "Try not to get upset
Let it all go by
Because how can it be that bad
If we're all gonna die? "

Soon I started to think about
That girl that disappeared
And if it really was the road that pulled me away
Or if I'm still a victim of my fears

How she showed me the machinery
That our words protect us from
How she could keep me in the moment
How that's all there ever was

I should call and ask to see her
Even if it's just a couple days
I could meet her out in Georgia
Or she could fly out to LA

And if the plane goes down on her way to me
I think I know how she would react
She'd smile and close her eyes
Think about her life
While some voice screaming in the back
"We're all gonna die. "

So try not to get upset
Everything is fine
Hey, it's not that big a deal
We're all gonna die
