What we all need to see is that this is how humans can be
Noble, considerate, and loving
The people spilled onto the lawn
They fed us food, they cheered us on
Not in self interest, but from a common bond
And so I'll take that day and let my memory keep its shape
Wish I could give it to you, Kate
Not so you'd live inside its walls
Just some place to start off
Until you don't need that old history at all

What idea could you be given the space to really breathe?
Noble, considerate, and loving
Please don't cling to those old songs
They say, "There's no sense moving on"
This is your new one, my last gift and then I'm gone
What idea could you be, given the space to really breathe?
What idea could you be, given the space to really breathe?
Oh, I loved you but let me go
So many years ahead
Might as well greet them with a lighter load
All the people I've met raised a thousand open hands
All holding me up in a wave that stretches from back when
It terrified me then, but now I know how to be grateful
For the push that kept me from being scared of tomorrow
I loved you but let me go
Wish I could be the last hand in the crowd to push you on
Wish I could be the final springboard you rely upon
I know it's hard to make your feet dive from the ground they're on
But it's time to do it, the water's warm
