TRANSCRIPT
In the backyard at night
We live in circles
And it's so hard to breatheMaybe the same old fears
What have we here?
Don't bring me downWith you
Now I'm just chasing timeWith a thousand dreams I'm
holding heavyAnd as we cross the line these
fading beats have all been severed
Don't tell me our youth is running out
It's only just begun
If I asked you for good newsWould you smile and turn
away?
It's like a bad dreamThat is too afraid to wake
There are many among usAnd we're changing all the time
Maybe the same old fearsWhat have we here?Don't bring me down

And as we cross the line these fading beats have all been severedDon't tell me our youth is running

Now I'm just chasing timeWith a thousand dreams I'm holding
heavyAnd as we cross the line these
fading beats have all been severed
Don't tell me our youth is running outIt's only just begun
