[Intro]
If you wait, it won't be undone
[Verse 1]
Well, it's all just scared of dying
But isn't this a beach?
And if I know one thing at all
Is I cannot just be a peach
Oh, you come in all woke now
So, please enjoy the feast
We are weightless like a wayless beast
So what is it we don't teach?
[Pre-Chorus]
When we were children we were hell-bent
Or oblivious at least
But now it comes to mind
We are terrified
So we run and hide
For a verified little peace
[Chorus 1]
So what of this release?
Sun light feels good now, don't it?
And I don't have a leaving plan
But something's gotta ease your mind
But it's all fine, or it's all crime anyway
[Verse 2]
There were six of us sitting creek side
Sifting fistfuls through the green
Every which way could be seen
Was the sand and time
Not a pantomime
More like anodyne
Was a friend of mine
You'da known, you'da known
[Pre-Chorus]
I could prophet
I could rob I, however
Everywhere isn’t everywhere
This is not a veil
Or a fairy tale in the least
[Chorus 2]
So what of this release?
Some life feels good now, don't it?
(I think I need it)
Don't have to have a leaving plan
(Have to let it)
Nothing's gonna ease your mind
Well, it's all fine and we're all fine anyway
[Outro]
But if you wait, it won't be undone

Justin’s singing a cool thing on it, the guitar vibe is comforting and persistent, but we just weren’t really sure where it needed to go. And then Brad and the rest of the dudes got their hands on it and it came back as just a dream sequence; it was so sick. We all kind of heard it and it was like,...
