lyrics

CHRIS
A river starts out singular and special
Then loses all distinction in the sea
So no one cares what path it takes, what water it delivers
Ah but that's a fate for rivers, not for me

JAIMY
No I won’t end up one amongst the billions
The confirmation came when I met you

CHRIS/JAIMY
This feeling is so strong that if some people think we’ll blow it
Don’t you listen cuz I know it isn’t true

ALL
So they can say
The world will take down everybody
What should I believe that for?
You and I, we aren't just anybody
We're not everybody
We're much more

ARI
When autumn comes, the leaves burn like a sunset
Then fall in withered piles on the ground

JOHNSON
The trees are bare

JAIMY
The meadow's dead

CHRIS
But hey, wherever we'll be

ALL
I can guarantee we'll still be safe and sound

CHRIS/GRACE
The swallow sings its song till late October
When weather chills, there's nothing to discuss.

CHRIS/GRACE/ARI
If one bird gets to leaving then the rest are bound to follow

GRACE
Ah but winter hunts the swallow, never us.

ALL
So they can
Say that time will get to everybody
Well, I’d like to see it try
You and I, we aren’t just anybody
We’re not everybody
We don't die

(Dialogue)

LIAM
The earth will hit the sun, they say it's certain
And we'll blow out like dust amongst the stars

CHRIS/LIAM
If that's where you are headed, you've a pretty fucked up future
But it ain't ours

ALL
It ain't ours
It ain't ours

Say the light goes out on everybody
If it's true I'm not afraid
You and I, we aren't just anybody
We're not everybody
We don't fade

Yeah they can
Say the light goes out on everybody
If it's true I'm not afraid
You and I, we aren't just anybody
We're not everybody
We don't fade
