[Verse One]
I don’t wanna lose touch
I don’t wanna lose you
Maybe I’m asking too much
Rob some fire from our youth
I don’t wanna grow cold
I’d just as soon grow kind
I don’t wanna lose us
To the corners of my mind

Oh oh oh oh oh

[Verse Two]
And I know I can’t go back there
Oh I knew I couldn’t stay
Cause the feelin’ that I'm missin’
Can’t be bought by reminiscing anyway

[Pre-Chorus]
Give me something to believe in (ah ah)
That doesn't wither from the use (oh oh)
Give me broad definitions (ah ah)
Tell me there's light beyond the pews (oh oh)

[Transition]
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
[Chorus]
I'd rather be a fool than a cynic
Fly up and touch the moon
I'd rather be in love than enlightеned
Heart that bleeds into the room

I'd rathеr have a friend than a conscience
Past the wine, forget the juice
I'd rather chase joy in the moment
Than keep on tripping over proof

Pre-Chorus
Give me something to believe in (ah)
That doesn't wither from the use (ah)
Give me broad definitions (ah)
Tell me there's light beyond the pews (ah)

[Chorus]
I'd rather be a fool than a cynic
Fly up and touch the moon
I'd rather be in love than enlightened
Heart that bleeds into the room

I'd rather have a friend than a conscience
Past the wine, forget the juice
I'd rather chase joy in the moment
Than keep on tripping over proof
[Refrain]
La da da da da
La da da da da da da ah
La da da da da
Ah da da da da da da (yeah yeah)

[Outro]
I'm trying
To hold this
Lightly
But it's too precious to lose

I miss
Building
A future
With pictures of you

I'm trying
To hold this
Lightly
But it's too precious to lose

And I miss
Building
A future
With pictures of you
