Thousand Songs ft. Declan Guckian Lyrics

Imagine if we could stay like this

Optimistic, ignorant, young

Before it's ruined, which is always just presumed

While I'm still me, while we still agree

Imagine if this could somehow just work out

That's what they say is meant to happen, what each song's about

Just barrel forward hoping that the demons can't keep up

And try to picture what it's like when none of it's made up

You know I've dedicated a thousand songs

To all the Bills, the Jameses, Zacks, the Joes

And meant it then, but always just moved on

And many more songs write themselves

For all the Emmas, Jesses, Catherines, just sitting on the shelf

But maybe in the future, I'll write something else

Let's even picture a little down the line

We've traveled, settled, done it all, and stood the test of time

We'll fly a thousand paper cranes, believe it's really true

That this is it, we're two of the very lucky few

You know I've dedicated a thousand songs

To all the Bills, the Jameses, Zacks, the Joes

And meant it then, but always just moved on

And many more songs write themselves

For all the Emmas, Jesses, Catherines, just sitting on the shelf

But maybe in the future

Imagine years from now

When we're old, and you're in the past

We'll both remember how we'd hoped

That this song was the last

You know I've dedicated a thousand songs

To all the Bills, the Jameses, Zacks, the Joes

And meant it then, but always just moved on

And many more songs write themselves

For all the Emmas, Jesses, Catherines, just sitting on the shelf

But maybe in the future, I'll write something else
