We heard another one fly by outside but we're alright
You know the drill, still you clench your teeth, forget to breathe
That feeling in your belly, swelling up like a big balloon
But you're coping, making room, hoping someday soon
Things will change, things do change
Another week has past according to the hourglass
Here in the midst of it, where every hit could be the last
But it's been quiet of late and we get restless as we wait
Is there nothing left to crush or kill or obliterate?
All we do, see it through, we don't move
Why don't we go swimming in the lake tonight
And watch the fireflies shine their tiny lights
Wouldn't you like to go and wander through the park
Feel the grass and the dewdrops on your skin
Fill your chilly glass to the brim
Find shelter in the dark
Standing on the rooftops, free and tall
We were once surveyors of all
Now we struggle to imagine a world beyond these walls
I pictured us around a bonfire, playing games
Singing songs and staring into the flames
Don't you want to go and see if the moon still shines
Pour more wine and hum another tune
I don't care if it's November or June
Not after all this time
Why don't we go swimming in the lake tonight
Just to feel it's going to be alright
To be free, free to believe
That it was all a dream
