Can you hear that sound?
There’s something in the distance telling you to slow it down
Drop the phone, look around
Can you feel the beat?
That pounding in your chest that wakes you from a dream so deep
You got high off a summer heat
Man, there’s something good on the other side
Something big and beautiful you can’t deny
Now, everybody’s got a fantasy that they tend to leave behind
Top secret sort of revery that you think about all the time
What if I told you that it wouldn’t be too late?
Listen to the call across the lake ..
Man, there’s something good on the other side
Something reminiscent of an old desire
Just like a song you’ve never heard
And yet, somehow, you know all of the words
It goes something like “You’ve only got one life”
Imagines ta vie comme un grand lac
Vaste, profond, sauvage et imprévisible
Et toi, un oiseau, perché dans les arbres
Caché du vent, tu attends ...
Soudain, tu t'aperçois a l’autre côté
Émerger du grand vide, posé sur l’eau
Tes ailes au reflet du soleil
Et la, tu te laches
Tu t’envoles, et tu pars à ta rencontre
Man, there’s something good on the other side
Something reminiscent of an old desire
Just like a song you’ve never heard
And yet, somehow, you know all of the words
It goes something like “You’ve only got one life”

I haven't cried during the first listen of a pop song in a long time, possibly ever. But Marsh just did it to me. This is deeply moving music. burbnluvr
