Remember when you heard it, you didn’t think about it   You opened up your ears and listened   Felt it smashing through the pretense, through scabs of inhibition   That the world stitched to your shoulder like a mission   It echoed like lips meeting and it fluctuated violently   Filled your heart and lungs up with redemption   Kind of like an ending but more like a beginning    And even though you’re losing then you’re winning   If you say oh    Remember this forever   All that matters is a song   Singing “I will be with you   Everywhere you go   Every little thing you do   Our love is here to stay   Even when the skies are gray   Even when I’m away   I’ll be with you.”   Now you’re so much older, so mature and insecure   You’ve grown out of yourself and into something else   Oh you crazy rebel tell me is this what you want to be   Would it kill you to be shameless?   If you say oh    Just scream this in defiance from the bottom of your lungs   What ever happened to the rock in roll in your eyes?   Oh I know its somewhere in you underneath the veil of lies   Oh why do you hide them, your rock and roll eyes?   They’re crazy   Eardrums are like elephants, they don’t forget the things they hear   And veins still carry fragments of the things fed to your ear   Let me do the honors and welcome you back to mankind   Just turn on the stereo and unwind   It goes “I will always love you.”   And as for taking it in stride….
