Well there's Fate and then there's fate Conditions and the decisions that we made There's still time so don't cry It's a subtle salvation But I fear death more than decline Cause I need the time Since you changed my mind Well you don't believe in souls That makes soul-mates a laugh Well I suppose That is fine cause neither do I Oh but every time you're near All the profane turns divine I've drawn a line Since you changed my mind If my future is my past Hard to say if this change is gonna last But you know that I'll try It's a subtle salvation But I fear death more than decline Cause I need the time Since you changed my mind Never loved my life enough to stay Used to be a struggle every day But now I see that optimism Ain't so foolish When you have someone to struggle with If my future is my past Hard to say if this change is gonna last But you know that I'll try It's a subtle salvation But I fear death more than decline Cause I need the time Since you changed my mind

Poor young man You lack perspective Sitting under the table crying invective Pencils stab all your letters You've pinned them to the floorboads Bleeding forevers Raise your glass to the pains of the young Open arms to the passionate ones Pray for those who passionately wait Afternoon earthquate Last false start Struggle to slow the traffic through your heart Poor young girl Your head just aches Car horns and that ghost you've got to shake Raise your glass to the pains of the young Open arms to the passionate ones Pray for those who passionately wait Smile and suffer the pains of the young Nod your head to the passionate ones I'll never passionately wait I find myself at Grand and Western Armless and trying to hail a cab You wore a blue dress to the lectern Icon of the things that I can't have Dreamer generations Procreate Second gilded age no time to wait On the web Headlines could read Myopic ears redeemed by harmony For all the years that I squirreled words away When the moment came I had nothing to say So I'll live to passionately wait I'll hold her hand on the way to the movies Kiss in museums and alleys on Tuesdays I'll live to passionately wait So raise your glass And I'll live to passionately wait Smile and suffer The pains of the young
