I have a present: it is the present.
You have to learn to find it within you.
If you can learn to love it,
You just might like it.
You can't live without it.
There's a million open windows.
I'm passing these open windows.
There is plenty to criticize.
It gets so easy to narrow these eyes.
But these eyes will stay wide.
I will stay young.
Young and dumb inside.
I have just begun to forget my lines.
If you could save yourself,
you could save us all.
Go on living, prove us wrong.
Your leap of faith could be a well-timed smile.
Survival never goes out of style.
I have a message: save your generation.
We're killing each other by sleeping in.
Finnegan, begin again.
This one can be won.
One can become two.
Two can pick and choose.
You could be the first.
You have to learn to learn from your mistakes.
You can afford to lose a little face.
The things you break,
Some can't be replaced.
A simple rule: every day be sure you wake.

    at first i was listening to it and thought it was about not polluting and keeping the earth clean and blah blah blah.

    but the more i listened to it i realized it was more about staying true to yourself and not letting yourself become the cliche of your generation.

    and then i started thinking, maybe it's about suicide. "survival never goes out of style" "your leap of faith could be a well timed smile" as in you just have to be a little nicer to eachother.
