“To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.” This night doesn’t have to end and I wonder how long we will stand outside trying to decide what we’ll do, and where we’ll go tonight. And I’m feeling nothing but alright. These days I’m screaming, “Seize the night.” When we make up our own music to the songs we’ve always known. And we will fill out dormant aspirations and know we haven’t even started yet. And we’ll burn these streets, and Ryan will say and I’ll believe him, “We are the reason.” These written words, bruised vocal chords mean that, “We are forever.” We hold secret hopes. We’ll hold this instant. Man I swear I never want to see this end. And we can change this world if only for this instant. This instant’s all that counts tonight. We’ll close this world down, and search for something else to do to feed these hearts, to make this ours. And these bonds are blood, flowing through dark veins the color of night. Like brothers and sisters we’ll attack this world.
