song of the moment - when you thought you'd never stand out

song of the moment
when you thought you'd never stand out
copeland




in other lives
in a bulletproof suit with some friends of mine
i wrote the plotline
only i knew who survived
who survived
and through the night
in a really fast car on an uphill climb
blew past a danger sign
and fell through darkness sublime
but awoke just in time

they’re gonna come to light tonight
they’re gonna come to light tonight
they’re gonna come to light tonight
but not for the last time

in younger days
i do my schoolwork while the neighbors play
but stare into space
with no feeling to convey
with no look on my face
in younger days
i’m stealing bases while my mother prays
and dreading to wake
longing for one more play
one more play

they’re gonna come to light tonight
they’re gonna come to light tonight
they’re gonna come to light tonight
but not for the last time

i don’t know what everyone was looking at
i don’t care what everyone was laughing at
i don’t know what everyone was staring at
i think, i think that it’s me

i don’t know what everyone was looking at
i don’t care what everyone was laughing at
i don’t know what everyone was staring at
i think, i think that it’s me

didn’t i tell you that i could hear you running out?
didn’t i find you when i knew you were hiding out?

in mixedy mashedy overlappediness:

didn’t i see you when you thought you’d never stand out?
didn’t i find you? didn’t i find you?

i don’t know what everyone was looking at
i don’t care what everyone was laughing at
i don’t know what everyone was staring at
i think, i think that it’s me

they’re gonna come to light tonight
they’re gonna come to light tonight
they’re gonna come to light tonight

didn’t i tell you that i could hear you running out?
didn’t i find you when i knew you were hiding out?
didn’t i see you when you thought you’d never stand out?
didn’t i find you?

in understandable and articulate overlappedy endiness:

didn’t i see you when you thought you’d never stand out?
didn’t i find you?

they’re gonna come to light tonight

i think, i think that it’s me
