lyrics

It'd be nice to have an anthem
the kind of thing that lets me know we have an understanding
The kind of song that tells you so I dont to put your hands in
The Epic chase, the getaway, the stalk holm, and the ransom
Dance to make it awkward doing the George Castanza
Wiping clean the chalkboard re writing the tangent
Stand to make a lot more attempts to take advantage
Of the tiny platform I was given by romantics
I would let this song stand as proof I am not crazy
Let this play on as the truth does not save me
Say the road less traveled makes a man of me
Lay the foundation support beams and the plan to be
The sound track to a start again theme song to a breakthrough
Plugs into the hearts of men a place they can escape to
A requiem for love songs, emotion at its finest
Tell me it's been sung wrong and I just have to find it

I will be more of a realist
Time killed hell bent to conceal this
But I seem to find that I'm fine with this dance
feeling the kindness of time verse the way it can steal things

It would be nice to get some good news
Even if it only serves as novel of how i could use
This awkward silence as an interlude for great things
Watch a smile lift confirms that it's been worth waiting
The band plays on forever and the ball keeps on rotating
The standard for the metronome that keeps an even pacing
In my chest I can't express it though so you'll just have to take these
For what they're worth and it aint much but note my hands are shaking
And I could take the time to explain why I can't stop the movement
But instead I'll let words fall short and let the music do it
To do the talking for me this mouth will stay shut
Until the record hits the paper and you feel you heard enough
Turn to what my heroes said they said best it's just a quote
I will be here today confess I must be left alone
So I ask you this anthem this requiem this musical
I reference when I can't explain, I know it just sounds beautiful
