From Stephen’s Tumblr:
“This was an imaginary letter I put to music for my brother and sister Tim & Ruth. The first was a warning against suicide, depression may run in our family but killing yourself is never the answer. The next warning was against drinking and drug use, and the last is about...
[Verse 1]
If I could write one letter
To the world as we know it
I would list these rhymes
That mean everything to me
Heartache temporary
Bullets only stop your blood
Pain will live on and on
In everyone, in everyone
[Chorus]
And we could change
(We could change it down)
We could change the world
We could strike the chord
(We are the lost ones, we are the lost ones)
We could rewrite history
If only you and me
(We are the lost ones, we are the lost ones)
And we could change it down
[Verse 2]
The model holds no answers
His lips can only sway
Chemicals imbalance
Who needs them anyway?
Desire is close at hand
Her lips can only sway
There's more to life than this
Don't give yourself away
Don't give yourself away
[Chorus]
And we could change
(We could change it down)
We could change the world
We could strike the chord
(We are the lost ones, we are the lost ones)
We could rewrite history
If only you and me
(We are the lost ones, we are the lost ones)
And we could change it down
[Bridge]
Don't give yourself away
Don't give yourself away
Don't give yourself away
[Chorus]
And we could change it down
(We could change it down, we could change it)
We could change the world
We could strike the chord
(We are the lost ones, we are the lost ones)
We could rewrite history
If only you and me
(We are the lost ones, we are the lost ones)
We could change the world
If only you and me
(We are the lost ones, we are the lost ones)
