We watched as they gathered on the pavement
How very wise of us
And I heard that the key to live forever
Is to give the people what they want
We heard them decades before us
Laughing and breaking bread
Hope you stay alive
I hope that that's all right
That that's a hope of mine
It was just like us
To ask for so much
And not just be enough
We can pick up where we left off
As if everything was just an in between
And I am so prone to nostalgia now
I fear that that's the way I've always been
We heard...
Hope you stay alive...
We had pride that was ours to keep
And those simple songs that felt just like sleep
Carried on with their wayward beat
Soft and slow in the midnight heat
And you'll never be lonely with words that sink slowly and into your steady bloodstream
Hope you stay alive...
