Album: Syntax And Bright Lights (2007)

Sixty Eight

And one day the world's gonna be alright,
And there will be no pain
Shut the ICU down tonight
'Cause everyone is safe
And I will overlook this operation by your side

'Cause we're too young, we're still kids
We're too young, we're still kids

I see your hearts get bigger when you lose your friends
And everyone's around you saying that it's not the end,
It's not the end

But you cried so hard,
And I watched you grow so strong
And I made you laugh in my arms
And your tear-stained shirt, you felt the snowflakes on your back

And you stood so proud
You had me wishing, wanting, begging for some words from you
And you smiled to the crowd,
It's enough for now

'Cause we're too young, we're still kids
We're too young, we're still kids

Take a break from the mask,
You've done enough today
I saw you smiling like it's all ok,
And it will be soon

This is a song for the boys and the girls I never met
And all my friends that I have had and I have kept
So get me down, down for the count
'Cause we are all the same, we're all the same

It's my job to keep you strong, I do it 'cause I'm supposed to
It's my job to keep you strong, I do it 'cause I like to
It's my job to keep you strong, I do it 'cause I'm told to.
It's my job to keep you strong, I do it 'cause I love you
I do it 'cause I love you
I do it 'cause I love you
I do it 'cause I love you

On that day, we will be in charge
The weather's always bright and 68 degrees
