Panorama

Up ahead there's a ridge
It's backlit by the dawn
Morning means waking and more will I make it's
Yeah morning means carrying on

Upstairs on my street
I turn off the alarm
Another rotation, we rush to our stations
And deal with the rest later on

Aren't we alive?
Yeah there's too much to feel
The love and the longing
The truth, the unreal
So freeze it all
Say you'll come back to it

You can try if you want
Capture it in a frame
But you know looking back
That it's never the same

We all chase panoramas
Everything at once
Then you're left with distortion
As soon as you're done

I fill up my days
I say I need more time
Always consuming while flowers keep blooming
And I never pay them no mind

Aren't we alive?
Yeah there's too much to feel
The love and the longing
The truth, the unreal
I freeze it all
I say I won't forget

You can try if you want
Capture it in a frame
But you know looking back
That it's never the same

We all chase panoramas
Everything at once
Then you're left with distortion
As soon as you're done

Day becomes night
In a flood of blue light
As we seek out remembering
But after the fact
Yeah it hits you like that
The grief from the loss of a moment
That you once were in

You can try if you want
Capture it in a frame
But you know looking back
That it's never the same

We all chase panoramas
Everything at once
Then you're left with distortion
As soon as you're done
(at the end of the day we all feel the same way)
