When I was a young boy, I tried to listen And I wanna feel like that Little white shadows, blink and miss them Part of a system, I am If you ever feel like something's missing Things you'll never understand Little white shadows sparkle and glisten Part of a system, a plan All this noise, I'm waking up All this space I'm taking up All this sound is breaking up Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Maybe you'll get what you wanted Maybe you'll stumble upon it Everything you ever wanted In a permanent state Maybe you'll know when you see it Maybe if you say it, you'll mean it And when you find it, you'll keep it In a permanent state, a permanent state When I was a young boy, I tried to listen Don't you wanna feel like that? You're part of the human race All of the stars and the outer space Part of a system, a plan All this noise, I'm waking up All this space I'm taking up I cannot hear, you're breaking up Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh Maybe you'll get what you wanted Maybe you'll stumble upon it Everything you ever wanted In a permanent state Maybe you'll know when you see it Maybe if you say it, you'll mean it And when you find it, you'll keep it In a permanent state, a permanent state Swimming on a sea of faces Tide of the human races Oh, an answer now is what I need See it in the new sun rising See it break on your horizon Oh, come on, love, stay with me
