El Capitan

By the harbor I harbor the strangest memories Older than I could ever be Stranded in nostalgia So, tonight I'll try harder But it's hard to fix This spotlight on me In a cast that's taken places I'm unsure of where I want to be Stand up, stand up And stand down I'll climb El Capitan And jump off to cheers From the crowd Stand up, stand up And stand down And I hope you take your camera To photograph my tears As they hit the ground No one even listens The same way That no one ever laughs I'm diggin the car out of the snow I'm wondering where The summer went to Encircled by your secrets I'm hoping they don't include me At least I'm in good company Because there's no one Else around, except me Stand up, stand up And stand down I'll climb El Capitan Just to watch the world slow itself Stand up, stand up And stand down And I hope you took your camera Silence makes the loudest sound It seems far too easy To say the same things I'll choose my own way To use my life up Finally found a new way Say the same things In imaginary ways I'll use my life up You were looking at pictures in the distance Hoping to see, the future in your pictures Of the distance, hoping to see The future looking at pictures in the distance Hoping to see, the future through your pictures Of the distance, hoping to see The future looking at pictures in the distance Hoping to see, the future in your pictures Of the distance, hoping to see The future looking at pictures in the distance Hoping to see, the future in your pictures Of the distance, hoping to see The future in your pictures Of the distance, hoping to see The future in your pictures
