Lyrics
0:02Planting tomatoes in the empty lot
0:06Someone practicing saxophone down the block
0:11And they are not good yet
0:16They are not good yet
0:21Picking flowers off the shoulder of the road
0:2618-wheelers rushing by a little too close
0:31Life is just a series of close calls
0:36One day one will come to end them all
0:40But before then I've got some ideas
0:49But before then I've got some ideas
1:00Coming together in a circle of hands
1:04Gently pressing palms when the prayer ends
1:09We all say amen
1:14Say amen
1:19Subtle pixelation of the world through the screened-in porch
1:25I could sit here for hours
1:29You've gotta live the life you're fighting for
1:34You've gotta live a life you would die for
1:38But before then I've got some ideas
1:48But before then I've got some ideas
1:58Hearing my friends laughing in the distance
2:02I can't help but laugh along without knowing what the joke is
2:08Can't help thinking that I am gonna miss this
2:12Living in the moment I can feel the moment passing
2:22Now I'm older than you'll ever be
2:27On a day you will never see
2:33There is so much that I have not lost
2:39Someday I know I will pay the cost
2:47But before then I've got some ideas
2:56But before then I've got some ideas
3:06But before then I've got some ideas
3:16But before then I've got some ideas
Planting tomatoes in the empty lot Someone practicing saxophone down the block And they are not good yet They are not good yet Picking flowers off the shoulder of the road 18-wheelers rushing by a little too close Life is just a series of close calls One day one will come to end them all But before then I've got some ideas But before then I've got some ideas Coming together in a circle of hands Gently pressing palms when the prayer ends We all say amen Say amen Subtle pixelation of the world through the screened-in porch I could sit here for hours You've gotta live the life you're fighting for You've gotta live a life you would die for But before then I've got some ideas But before then I've got some ideas Hearing my friends laughing in the distance I can't help but laugh along without knowing what the joke is Can't help thinking that I am gonna miss this Living in the moment I can feel the moment passing Now I'm older than you'll ever be On a day you will never see There is so much that I have not lost Someday I know I will pay the cost But before then I've got some ideas But before then I've got some ideas But before then I've got some ideas But before then I've got some ideas
