Someone told me they found you
Sleepwalking through Babylon
You told me that you don't have much
But you still got more than anyone
You love the words that speak that you
And every line reminds you of
An old friend or a crippled love
A time when you were young
And for years they laughed at you
But they don't got nothing to lose
No, they just talk and stare
And I don't care about them
Well I knew it was time to go
So things swayed my way for once
Caught in the illusion of beautiful and numb
And this morning they called for you
And that's when I felt the worst
But the moment I wrote it down
Was the moment I lived forever
And for years they laughed at you
But they don't got nothing to lose
No, they just talk and stare
And I don't care about them
The moments I write down are forever
And I don't care about them
The moments I write down are forever
Someone told me they found you
Sitting in a parking lot
Thinking about the things you've done
Back when you were young
You love the words that speak to you
And every song reminds you of
An old friend or a crippled love
Way back when you were young
And I know they don't dream about
No, they don't dream about
They don't dream about nothing, no
They just talk and stare
And I don't care about them
The moments I write down are forever
And I don't care about them
The moments I write down, the moments I write down
I heard you made it through the wreckage
I knew you'd do it
I knew you'd do it
I heard you're happy living easy
Like you've always wanted
Like you've always wanted
