  • Hey kid at the show tonight
    The face beyond the barricade
    How ya dance and ya sing to every single line
    Like it was you up on that stage

    I mean to know your secret
    I'm asking you for help
    How do I fall in love with anything
    Like you seem to do so well?
    I gotta get back to when it came out
    The way it was supposed to sound
    Before money was ever changing hands
    And my feet were on the ground

    When I could feel the wind's direction
    When I knew what songs to sing

    And he said, "try not to get upset
    Let it all go by
    Because how can it be that bad
    If we're all gonna die?"

    So I started to think about
    That girl that disappeared
    And if really was the road that pulled me away
    Or if I'm still a victim of my fears

    As she showed me, the machine ran
    That our words protect us from
    How she could keep me in the moment
    How that's all there ever was

    As she called, I asked to see her
    Even if it's just a couple days
    I could meet her out in georgia
    She could fly out to la

    And if the plane goes down on her way to me
    I think I know how she would react

    She'd smile and close her eye
    Think about her life
    While some voice screaming in the back
    "We're all gonna die"

    So try not to get upset
    Everything is fine
    Hey, it's not that big a deal
    We're all gonna die Writer/s: TAYLOR ZACHARY GOLDSMITH
