[Verse 1]
AIn a world that's Emcolor blind
GWe see it all through Dkaleidoscope eyes
AThere's a treasure buried Emin the sand
But Gwe got the compass and Dmap in our hands
[Pre-Chorus]
AWe dive into the Emdark
'Cause Glife is temporary but we Dalready know
That we aAre who we are
And we Emlive every day as our GlastD  
[Chorus]
N.C.                  A  
'Cause even if we die young
EmThey will remember Gus
DEven if we die Ayoung

GFallin' in love wasn't Dpart of the plan
ASafe to say that we'll Emnever change
