'68 – What More Can I Say lyrics

Take your sweet time, don't forget to breathe
Shake your leaves but don't shake the tree
I see you suffering but I don't see you laughing
We got lovers in the war, taking their time
And so

Take your sweet time, don't hurry up because of me
It's all a mistake, but it's one that I have to make
Life's too short to be in the fast lane
I thought I heard you knocking
Or was that me?

Your smile is violent; I see you but do you see me?
Take my heart because you can't just have a piece
All we are, we are, we are is all we need
I believe in you, but I don't know how much I believe in me

Even if you could just breathe inside my mouth
One more time I could feel you
I could hold you up in my mind like I saw the light
I am what I am, and that's all you need to know
As I place my guts on the floor and let you see it all

I got more demons in my back than I got angels in my front
And I know, was that your voice I heard or was it just an echo?
I've been stuck in the forest too long
And I can't sing about anything else
I've got memories that have never even crossed my shelf

And I hope you can die with me
And I hope you can breathe easy
The future is not what it seems
But I hope we've got songs to sing
After the sticks click, we all explode into one
But we never know what's going to happen
That's why we keep our eyes open; such is life

Staring back at my hands terrified
We can't close our eyes, we can't close our minds
We take off our hands, we shake all of our feet
We got lovers in the sea that I don't know
But their dreams, they can definitely sing

It's been said, "Keep moving on," I guess that's it
I've got lyrics that don't mean anything to you
But they mean so much to me
We hold out our hands, we hold all our dreams
We've got different thoughts
It doesn't mean it makes it wrong; it makes it right

We can love each other
We can love each other
We can all just love each other
I swear we can love each other

We can love each other
We can grab each other's hands
We got songs that need to be sung
And we got fights that need to be fought
The fight of peace
We can wage war against the war of hate
At least in my dreams, I still believe we can
