Hoping to see,  the future through your pictures
Stranded in nostalgia
Of the distance, hoping to see
In a cast that's taken places
And stand down
I harbor the strangest memories
Of the distance, hoping to see

And stand down
No one even listens
Because there's no one
And jump off to cheers
Hoping to see, the future in your pictures
It seems far too easy
Else around, except me
Applaud El Capitan
From the crowd
Older than I could ever be
Hoping to see, the future in your pictures
Hoping to see, the future in your pictures
To photograph my tears
By the harbor
Say the same things
Stand up, stand up
I'm hoping they don't include me
You were looking at pictures in the distance
To use my life up
The future in your pictures
Finally found a new way
At least I'm in good company
But it's hard to fix
The future looking at pictures in the distance
Just to watch the world slow itself
Applaud El Capitan
I'm taking the car out of the snow
That no one ever laughs
And wondering where
Stand up, stand up
I’ll choose my own way
And I hope you take your camera
Of the distance, hoping to see
I’m unsure of where I want to be
As they hit the ground
And I hope you took your camera
Of the distance, hoping to see
The future looking at pictures in the distance
And stand down
To say the same things
Stand up, stand up
And stand down
Stand up, stand up
In imaginary ways
The summer went to
Circled by your secrets
The same way
So, tonight I’ll try harder
The future looking at pictures in the distance
I’ll use my life up
Silence makes the loudest sound
This spotlight on me
