lyrics

I wanna believe in Love the way my Mother does, but she doesn't see how tough it has become. If my grandparents can celebrate 60 years, why can't I take sixty seconds here to see that maybe it's just me.

I wanna believe in Life the way I did as a kid. Then, maybe I'd see what's right for me and appreciate it. But if I've been alive for all these years, then why am I still sitting here wondering how to live?

We stay awake through the summer sun. Days are getting longer, and everyone still looks for answers. We stay awake through summer. In some ways we're getting younger, because everyone still makes excuses.

I wanna believe that it's not wrong to build a Life around these songs that may never get heard. And it's not a reflection of my self-worth. I wanna believe that. I wanna believe. I just wanna believe.

It's like a capo on this guitar. I thought I could change the way things are, but when my feelings feel the strings, it's like I never really changed anything.

We stay awake through the summer sun. Days are getting longer, and everyone still looks for answers. We stay awake through summer. In some ways we're getting younger, because everyone still makes excuses.

I've stayed awake through the summer sun. Days are getting longer, and I'm still looking for my answer.
I wanna believe in Love the way my Mother does.
