It's a really old city
Stuck between the
dead and the living
So I thought to myself
sitting on a graveyard shelf
As the echo of heartbeats
from the ground below my feet
Filled a cemetery
in the center of Queens
I started running the maze of
The names and the dates
some older than others
The skyscrapers
little tombstone brothers
With Manhattan behind her
three million
stunning reminders
Built a cemetery
in the center of Queens
You said
remember that life is
Not meant to be wasted
We can always be
chasing the sun
So fill up your lungs
and just run
But always be
chasing the sun
So how do you do it
With just words
and just music
capture the feeling
That my earth is
somebody's ceiling
Can I deliver in sound
the weight of the ground
Of a cemetery
in the center of Queens
There's a history
through her
Sent to us as a gift
from the future
to show us the proof
More than that
it's to dare us to move
And to open our eyes
and to learn from the sky
From a cemetery
in the center of Queens
You said
remember that life is
Not meant to be wasted
We can always be
chasing the sun
So fill up your lungs
and just run
But always be
chasing the sun
All we can do is try
And live like
we're still alive
It's a really old city
Stuck between the
dead and the living
So I thought to myself
sitting on a graveyard shelf
And the gift of my heartbeat
sounds like a symphony
Played by a cemetery
in the center of Queens
You said
remember that life is
Not meant to be wasted
We can always
be chasing the sun
So fill up your lungs
and just run
But always be
chasing the sun
All we can do is try
And live like
we're still alive
All we can do is try
And live like
we're still alive
