Name: Letters From Mars
Duration: P00H03M21S
Description: I wanted to write a song about being young before I got too old. In my mind, this song is about the last Summer before college, when the nights are warm. A person feels safe, but free, and it seems the world is yours for the taking. However, the future looms, and while you want to live in the moment, it's hard not to think about the future.

about

I wanted to write a song about being young before I got too old. In my mind, this song is about the last Summer before college, when the nights are warm. A person feels safe, but free, and it seems the world is yours for the taking. However, the future looms, and while you want to live in the moment, it's hard not to think about the future.

lyrics

I can remember all the simple easy nights
I pull my jacket on and you flip on your brights
I never thought that I could love a road like that
The road to which you know you’re never coming back

Well I know it’s hard to picture something that’s so far away
We take our time and rarely look beyond today
Can you see me in the future on my way back home from Mars
Will you take my hand and say, “I take you as you are”

You can look at me with the piercing eyes
It wouldn’t matter
I’m already hypnotized
Being young is not as easy as it seems
Staying cool without going to extremes

Now I know it’s hard to picture something that’s so far away
We take our time and rarely look beyond today
Can you see me in the future on my way back home from Mars
Will you take my hand and say, “I take you as you are”

Well I know it’s hard to picture something so far from now
The things we do today we could just disavow
Can you see me in the future on my way back home from Mars
Will you take my hand and say, “I take you as you are”

Well I’ll see you tomorrow
But I’ll see you tomorrow
Well I’ll see you tomorrow
But I’ll see you tomorrow
Hey hey hey
