Album: I Get Around (2009)

Vanity

Now I hear they say it's quiet before the storm. And it will be over before you know it. And I can see a ray of light thru the dark. So I will keep reaching and pushing no matter how far. If I had to choose one day to die, it would be never because I want to live forever. A wise man once said everything is vanity. See you can have everything but I just want immortality, c'mon.

[Pre-Chorus:]
We gotta get there (get there) and I know that times are rough. We gotta get there (get there) and I promise you I will never give up. We gotta get there (get there) and there's nothing stronger than love. We gotta get there (get there), if you all I'll be there to pick you up.

[Chorus:]
Hold on and don't let go, soon it will be over. Gotta be strong, don't you fold, you can stand on my shoulders. You're my brother (and) and we need each other (and I), I just want to live forever. And I know we can get there together.

Now they say the greatest to ever walk the earth was barely excepted, even by his own people rejected. So who are you and I if we don't receive the same. Tell me what's in a name? What's in fortune and fame? See I don't wanna go to heaven and I don't wanna die. I want to live on earth forever so I can tell my family I love every night. See I could win a couple of Grammies and I could go platinum, but tell if you gotta go, does it really even matter? C'mon.

[Bridge:]
We gotta get there (cause everything else is vanity), We gotta get there (cause everything else is vanity). We gotta get there (cause everything else is vanity), We gotta get there (cause everything else is vanity). So hold on.

[Chorus x2]
