[Verse 1]
My family tree been on the run
Chased by vampires raised on the blood
My roof's been tossed into the wind
Can never go back home again
[Pre-Chorus]
In my mind, in my heart I believe that
Everything I am and everything that I'll be
Is the wildest fantasy
[Chorus]
Can we live forever?
(Everything that I'll be, everything that I'll be)
Make water in the desert?
(Everything that I'll be)
A love we can rekindle
(Everything that, everything, everything that I'll be)
My body is a symbol
(Everything that I'll be)
My body is a symbol
[Verse 2]
My tree build all these ships and guns
Nightmares teach more than dreaming does
And I know that I won't look away
My soul it goes there everyday
[Pre-Chorus]
In my mind, in my heart I believe that
Everything I am and everything that I'll be
Is the wildest fantasy
[Chorus]
Can we live forever?
(Everything that I'll be, everything that I'll be)
Make water in the desert?
(Everything that I'll be, everything that I'll be)
A love we can rekindle
(Everything that, everything, everything that I'll be)
My body is a symbol
(Everything that I'll be)
My body is a symbol
[Bridge]
In my mind, in my heart I believe that
(Everything I am and everything that I'll be)
In my mind, in my heart I believe that
In my mind, in my heart I believe that
(Everything I am and everything that I'll be)
In my mind, in my heart
[Chorus]
Can we live forever?
(Everything that I'll be, everything that I'll be)
Make water in the desert?
(Everything that I'll be, everything that I'll be)
A love we can rekindle
(Everything that, everything, everything that I'll be)
My body is a symbol
(Everything that I'll be)
My body is a symbol
[Outro]
In my mind, in my heart I believe that
(Everything that, everything that I'll be)
My family tree been on the run
(Everything that I'll be, everything that I'll be) (x2)
