nothing sounds like the source time slows that force when the echo comes around nothing sounds like the source time slows that force when the echo comes around i turn everything down leave things in the past hope the ringing doesn t last get inside the cocoon try to change my tune but the words i left behind are still there for me to find i can still hear who i was meant to be i m the reflection of a dream when i was 15 the boy still waits for me to set him free head in the sand he takes my hand show me where the sound began the child makes the man ripples in an endless sea reverberate a destiny oh send me to eternity not gone only changed i was a boy i used to sing that sound won t die like me those old songs stay with me i can still hear the things i used to say sounds ripple through an age to grow or be replaced you can hear the meaning change the spirit resonates give myself away handed down to replay stay inside what i became live two lives the same way the words i left behind are still there for me to find i can still hear who i was meant to be the records we used to play still hum still vibrate the frequency decays but the fidelity remains so in the end when the song starts to fade i m still the boy in the middle of the wave not gone only changed i was a boy i used to sing that sound won t die with me those old songs stay i can still be the boy i used to be i m an echo so young so old never let go of what you outgrow i m an echo
