Remember in the movies we saw when we were kids how tears became enchanted, electrified eyelids? the love contained within them could raise you from the dead / the levitating flowers came circling your head / do you ever find yourself pretending on the darkest of days / something's gonna come change the ending when you press play / he goes for the gun, but nobody dies / the bullets all turn into butterflies / and they got home to tell their mothers / nobody runs, nobody hides, nobody makes this about taking sides / and we'll use arms to hold each other / it's hello to the neighbors, but we don't talk too much / the world is at our fingers, but still we're out of touch / but we all held a headline underneath our thumb / another dozen dead finds a country growing numb / do you ever find yourself pretending on the darkest of days / something's gonna come change the ending when you press play? / he goes for the gun, but nobody dies/ the bullets all turn into butterflies / and they got home to tell their mothers / nobody runs, nobody hides, nobody makes this about taking sides / and we'll use arms to hold each other / if I could see tomorrow through the eyes of a child / I don't believe this sorrow could all be reconciled / but maybe we'd go walking, let some dandelions fly / and notice how our wishes dance together in the sky
