Look at them running
Look at them go
I remember those days
The days I was alone
All of those connections
My wires crossed
I’d hang on to my history
To keep from getting lost
Unplug the TV
Turn off the phone
They’re just noise anyhow
I’ll light your candles
You can sing my prayers
This is our world now.
Look at them searching
Searching for the way
The path is long
The night is dark
There’s no sign of the day
Bills and obligations
Disciplines and goals
They’ve got a name for everything
But they don’t have you to hold
Unplug the TV
Turn off the phone
They’re just noise anyhow
You’ll light my candles
I’ll sing your prayers
This is our world now.
So whisper in my ear
Whatever comes to mind
Your voice so low
Your breath so warm
The thoughts will feel like mine
Close the door behind you
We’ll take a secret vow
Unplug the TV
Pull out the phone
They’re just noise anyhow
We’ll make our candles
And we’ll write our own prayers
This is our world now.
