Lyrics:
Planting tomatoes in the empty lot.
Someone practicing saxophone down the block.
They are not good… yet.
They are not good yet.
Picking flowers off the shoulder of the road.
18-wheelers rushing by a little too close.
Life is just a series of close calls.
One day one will come to end them all.
But before then, I’ve got some ideas.
But before then, I’ve got some ideas.
Coming together in a circle of hands.
Gently pressing palms when the prayer ends.
We all say amen.
Say amen.
Subtle pixelation of the world through the screened in porch.
I could sit here for hours.
You’ve gotta live the life you’re fighting for.
You’ve gotta live a life you would die for.
But before then, I’ve got some ideas.
But before then, I’ve got some ideas.
Hearing my friends laughing in the distance,
I can’t help but laugh along without knowing what the joke is.
Can’t help thinking that I am gonna miss this.
Living in the moment, I can feel the moment passing.
Now I’m older than you’ll ever be
on a day you will never see.
There is so much that I have not lost.
Someday I know I will pay the cost.
But before then, I’ve got some ideas.
But before then, I’ve got some ideas.
