Lyrics

[Intro]
[strummed acoustic guitar]
[Verse 1]
[male tenor vocals]
Guess it's just your luck
That's all that I've
If you're meant to be
Guess you can try, try, try
Find life
Tell me all
Raise your arms for me
Where we are
Swear we'll always be
[Verse 2]
[guitar continues rhythmic strumming]
You tell me you're turning right
In the normal that you learned
Guess I'll be as nice as I can
In that same way
Starlight pierces through the shade
And hits me on the go
Guess I made my own sacrifice
Tell me now
[Chorus]
[vocal intensity increases]
I want to be forever
In the lost summer
Let's try and find something clever
Change the future baby
Change it bright and shining new
Your record player's broken
Music I used to, used to, used to go through
[Bridge]
[vocalizing]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
[Verse 3]
[guitar strumming becomes more aggressive]
It's a black day
Wear your leather all night long
It's the right day
Sing out the same old song
Now you get desperate
You can be victorious
You can ride up the mountain top
See the summit all you want
[Outro]
[vocal grit increases]
I know we're down
Oh, we'll find a way
I know we're down
Time can't take our lives away
I know you're alright
A smile upon your face
I know I'll meet you
Some other time and space
