[Verse 1]
I don't wanna lose touch
I don't wanna lose you
Maybe I'm asking too much
To rob some fire from our youth
I don't wanna grow old
No, I'd just as soon grow kind
I don't wanna lose us
To the corners of my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know I can't go back there
Oh, I knew I couldn't stay
'Cause the feeling that I'm missing
Can't be bought by reminiscing anyway

[Chorus]
Give me something to believe in
That doesn't wither from the use
Give me broader definitions
Tell me there's light beyond the pews

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, ah, oh
Oh, ah, oh
[Bridge]
I'd rather be a fool than a cynic
Fly on up and touch the moon
I'd rather be in love than еnlightened
A heart that bleeds into thе room
I'd rather have a friend than a conscience
Pass the wine, forget the juice
I'd rather chase joy in the moment
Than keep on tripping over proof

[Chorus]
Give me something to believe in
That doesn't wither from the use
Give me a broader definition
Tell me there's light beyond the pews

[Bridge]
I'd rather be a fool than a cynic
Fly on up and touch the moon
I'd rather be in love than enlightened
A heart that bleeds into the room
I'd rather have a friend than a conscience
Pass the wine, forget the juice
I'd rather chase joy in the moment
Than keep on tripping over proof
[Post-Bridge]
Ah, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
Ah-ah-ah

[Outro]
I'm trying to hold this lightly
But it's too precious to lose
I miss building a future
With pictures of you
I'm trying to hold this lightly
But it's too precious to lose
I miss building a future
With pictures of you
