lyrics

If I lived in front of a green screen
Where else would I choose to be but here?
Would I stand in front of a mountain?
Would I move on to a new frontier?
Travel far like ancient Romans
Like Magellan sail the oceans
Like a nomad wandering in the sun
Would I be a fugitive on the run?

Do we need some picture postcards
To tell the stories we have held so dear?
If we stood in front of a green screen
Would our lives flash fast then disappear?
Walk among some ancient ruins
On the trails, through some hoodoos
It don’t matter because it’s all so clear
All our roads have led us back to here, back to here.

Imagine if we could travel through ages
Would we turn backward or rifle through pages?
Looking ahead, to see what comes next.

If I could live in front of a green screen
There’s nowhere else I’d choose to be but here
When my time has reached conclusion
Press my life in a photograph album dear
Take the souvenirs acquired
And keep them with the picture postcards
So you can keep the memories so near
Of all the routes we traveled through the years
How every road led us back to here
