My living example

Sadly, I couldn’t find any live or non-live video of Incubus playing ‘Admiration’. Anyhow, here’s the lyrics of the song:

My comment: Back at you Brandon Boyd, with <3 of course!

 Could you move in slow motion?
Everything goes by so fast 
Just slow down a little 
Save the best part for last

You speak in riddles 
Your intentions turn me old
I’m yours forever 
Will you love me when I’m gone?

When I’m gone!

When I’m gone,
You’re an unfenced fire!
(When I’m gone,)
Over walls we’ve trampled!
(When I’m gone,)
It’s you I admire!
(When I’m gone,)
My living example…

Your eyes are an undiscovered ocean far away 
Any minute now keeping 
Both poets and priests at bay 
Don’t get ahead of me 
Could we just this once see eye to eye? 
Could you want perhaps me?
Ask me how it feels to vie

To vie!

You’re an unfenced fire! (to vie)
Over walls we trampled! (to vie)
It’s you I admire! (to vie)
My living example…

It’s a photograph discovered a decade after 
It’s a cannon blast disguised as a firecracker 
It’s enough to bring a brick wall to its knees 
And sing, please

Could you move in slow motion?
Everything goes by so fast 
Just slow down a little 
Save the best part for last

For last!

You’re an unfenced fire! (for last) 
Over walls we trampled! (for last)
It’s you I admire! (for last)
My living example…
My living example…

It’s you I admire!!
