Old friends waving from a passenger train
Oh boy, familiar to me in impossible ways
A new day, a picture in my hand of who I used to be

Living in a world of archives
It’s not real
Memories ruling our lives
If I go to sleep, please wake me soon
Waiting for the bird of empathy
Diving through, out of an old mythology

Stay calm
I’m gonna write a happy ending
Oh boy, what’s it gonna take to change your mind
Breathe deep, you’ll own yours and I’ll own mine

Living in a world of archives
It’s not real
Memories ruling our lives
If I go to sleep, please wake me soon
Waiting for the bird of empathy
Rising through
Deep within your smile I see all I want to see

I don’t wanna be stuck here
I don’t wanna live a shadow of a life
So when I’m scared, please bring me down
To earth and ground

Living in a world of archives
It’s not real
Memories ruling our lives
If I go to sleep, please wake me soon
Waiting for the bird of empathy

And I need you
Time to write our own mythology
A better view, free to be who we were born to be

Free to say goodbye to all of these
Pictures of a story told between
Old friends
Waving from a passenger train
