[Verse 1]
The great protector
Is that what I'm supposed to be? Yeah
What if all this counts for nothing
Everything I thought I'd be?
What if by the time I realize
It's too far behind to see?
Seventy-mil projector
I can show you everything, yeah
And we're on our way to glory
Where the show won't ever end
And the encore lasts forever
And this time we're due to spend
Yeah

[Verse 2]
Spendin' the years together
Growing older every day, yeah
Yeah, put your lights in the sky
I feel at home when I'm around you
And I'll gladly say again
I hope the encore lasts forever
Now there's time for us to spend, yeah
And it's sublime with you, my friend
This right here still feels like a honeymoon
When you say my name, nothing's changed
I'm still a boy inside my thoughts
Am I meant to understand my faults?

[Chorus]
I don't think so
I don't think I'm meant to understand myself
Well, maybe you do
Tat's good for you
And, well, maybe in time
Maybe one day
I'll do the same
I'll do the same
I'll do the same
I'll do the same
I said that I'll do the same, yeah

[Bridge]
Uh-huh, I'll do the same as you
I'll try and hold it up
Soon I hope or as soon as I'm old enough
Old enough to understand, yeah
Old enough to understand, yeah

[Outro]
Stay forever, you know more than anyone, yeah, oh-oh
And it's you that knows my darkness
And you know my bedroom needs
You could blast me and my secrets
But there's probably just no need
I love you, Rex
Woo
