It's a really old city
Stuck between the dead
and the living
So I thought to myself
sitting on
a graveyard shelf
As the echo
of heartbeats
from the ground
below my feet
Filled a cemetery
in the center of Queens
I started running
the maze of
The names
and the dates
some older than others
The skyscrapers
little tombstone
brothers
With Manhattan
behind her
three million
stunning reminders
Built a cemetery
in the center of Queens
You said remember
that life is
Not meant to be wasted
We can always
be chasing the sun
So fill up your
lungs and just run
But always
be chasing the sun
So how do you do it
With just words
and just music
capture the feeling
That my earth is
somebody's ceiling
can I deliver in sound
The weight
of the ground
Of a cemetery
in the center of Queens
There's a history
through her
Sent to us as a gift
from the future
to show us the proof
More than that
it's to dare us to move
To open our eyes
and to learn
from the sky
From a cemetery
in the center of Queens
You said remember
that life is
Not meant to be wasted
We can always
be chasing the sun
So fill up your lungs
and just run
But always
be chasing the sun
All we can do is try
And live like
we're still alive
It's a really old city
Stuck between the dead
and the living
So I thought to myself
sitting on
a graveyard shelf
And the gift
of my heartbeat
sounds like a symphony
Played by a cemetery
in the center of Queens
You said remember
that life is
Not meant to be wasted
We can always
be chasing the sun
So fill up your lungs
and just run
But always
be chasing the sun
All we can do is try
And live like
we're still alive
All we can do is try
And live like
we're still alive
