Lyrics

How We See the Light

It's a lot like magic It's a lot like friendship It's the best of everything Everything I've found Sometimes you learn a thing or two You learn a lesson Then in the quiet ways of love You wasted time You try to track me down And how you finally found The way we heard you Coming out again In between the way we see the light Then we lose our minds and jump the fence In between the way we see the light Then we lose our minds and jump the fence Here goes the better ideas In the way we saw our lives Were they more decisive now Than in a future time? Can I close another chapter In the way we run our lives? More decisive in the future Or deliberate in the end In between the way we see the light Then we lose control and jump the fence In between the way we see the light Then we lose control and jump the fence
