lyrics

Everybody wants to go, outside where the story’s told
To open up the window wide, and to ventilate the weary mind
But the story doesn’t want to play, though it’s intimate in every way
Keeping secrets so profound, to generously spread around

Save your soul, oh-save-your-soul

Everybody wants to breathe, without whispers of a time to grieve
Hidden in the story’s lines, unprotected in complacent minds
But the solitary dance grows old, with the isolating haunted souls
It condescends to touch us all, not polite enough to break the fall

Save your soul, oh-save-your-soul

Instrumental

Everybody wants to cry, with tears that refuse to die
Shadows of the young and old, are presiding as the story’s told
Tomorrow isn’t very close, anticipating years to go
Will everyone come out to play, and liberate our yesterday?
