Lyrics
Watch the buildings blow by
Observing the passing buildings.
Watch them blend with the sky
Noticing the buildings merging with the sky.
Watch the feelings fade to gray
Witnessing emotions fading into a neutral state.
Watch it all blur to one
Seeing everything blend into one indistinct view.
Watch the days each die
Watching the passing of each day.
Watch the seasons change
Observing the changing of seasons.
Watch the leaves fall
Noticing leaves falling, symbolizing change.
Watch it all
Observing the overall progression of life.
Happen again
Reflecting on the cyclical nature of events.
I'm not saying it's all your fault
Clarifying that it's not solely someone's fault.
Or that you should blame it on someone else
Emphasizing personal responsibility.
But in a sea of stoic faces
Noticing a lack of emotional expression in others.
I see no static human beings
Perceiving people as constantly changing.
We're changing minds as fast as time
Changing opinions rapidly, akin to the passage of time.
And if you get swept up in the tide
Being carried away by the flow of change.
You begin to barely recognize the reflection walking by
Experiencing a loss of self-identity amidst change.
It's easier to love something
Expressing affection for things that are not yet real.
When it doesn't yet exist
Suggesting love is easier when it's idealized.
Or in the time when it all desists
Reflecting on the period after everything ends.
Before you were over it
Nostalgia for a time before one moved on.
You count the hours like precious stones
Valuing time as precious, like precious stones.
Hindsight shows you only gold
Recognizing the value of past experiences.
But you don't remember how when you were there
Forgetting the details of past experiences.
You wish you were somewhere else
Desiring to be in a different place than the present.
Watch the strangers float by
Observing strangers passing by.
Window shopping for anything new
Engaging in superficial observation without commitment.
Watch the cracks in the cement remind you to call your mom
Noticing reminders in mundane things.
Watch the focus fade
Experiencing a loss of concentration.
Zoom out see so much you forgot loved
Realizing the value of things forgotten.
Watch the earth regrow from the ground
Witnessing the renewal of life from the ground up.
Hills full of daffoldils lead your way
Guided by nature's beauty in the form of daffodils.
Watch it all
Observing the entirety of life's experiences.
