Lyrics/Song Structure:
======================
---> Play Intro (x4)
---> Play Intro over:
Nick:
A day like today is for you
To let your mind unwind like you ought to
Feel the earth turn 'round when your heart rate slows
Contemplating the thing only your heart knows
That life's not a race
---> Play Chorus (Guitar 1) over:
SA:
So hard to believe
Part of me will fade
In the mystery
---> Play Chorus (Guitars 1 & 2) over:
In a future world
Long ago
Part feels for your love
And lives to tell you so
---> Play Solo 1 over Intro
---> Play Intro over:
Nick:
The world whirls around your mind in a golden spiral
The natural way that things organize
You can't stop the entropy so why even try
Observe the conscious flow and don't mystify
Life's not a race
---> Play Chorus (Guitar 1) over:
SA:
So hard to believe
Part of me will fade
In the mystery
---> Play Chorus (Guitars 1 & 2) over:
In a future world
Long ago
Part feels for your love
And lives to tell you so
---> Play Solo 2 Over Intro
---> Play Fill 1 over:
Nick:
Slippin' into a trance
A chance encounter in the autumn
What do I see an opportunity
And then, I got 'em
Sought a chill-out mix to
Carve some space
To make you wanna listen
It's a bubblin' spring and
Double in kings of this Soundsystem
---> Play Chorus (Guitar 1) over:
SA:
So hard to believe
Part of me will fade
In the mystery
---> Play Chorus (Guitars 1 & 2) over:
In a future world
Long ago
Part feels for your love
And lives to tell you so
---> Play Fill 1 over:
Do you see world without end
The rising sun my friend
Imagine cloud-like
You will form again
In the spacey boredom
In the autumn of the late afternoon
You are calm
Just like a sleepy room
---> Play Solo 3 over Intro
---> Play Outro (x4)
---> Play Solo 4 over Outro
