Lyrics:

And there's three, count 'em three

Children playing on the beach

They were eager to learn,

To be taught and to teach



There's Veronica

She's biting her lip

As she watches the waves turn white at the tip

And there's Vada

Radiating with joy

And luckily she still can't stand the sight of a boy



And lastly there's Dade

His hair dances in the wind

And he's wondering what love is

And why it has to end

And he can't understand

How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends

His mother whispers quietly...

Heaven's not a place that you go when you die

It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive

So live for the moment

And take this advice, live by every word

Love is just a hoax so forget anything that you have heard

And live for the moment now



And there's three, count 'em three

Children growing on the beach

They were eager to learn,

To be taught and to teach



There's Veronica

She's licking her lips

As she waits for her real, first passionate kiss

And there's Vada

She can't admit her jealousy

Of her sister Veronica, and how she's so pretty (and how she's so pretty)

Lastly there's Dade

Still sitting on the dock

Ponders his life, and he skips his rocks

And he wonders when his father will return

But he's not coming back



And he can't understand

How everyone goes on breathing when true love ends

His mother whispers quietly...

Heaven's not a place that you go when you die

It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive

So live for the moment

And take this advice, live by every word

Love is just a hoax so forget everything that you have heard (forget everything)



And there's three, count 'em three

Children missing from the beach

They were eager to learn,

To be taught and to teach



But the sad thing

Is that they never lived passed the age of fifteen

Due to neglect from their mother

Who was bed ridden by her ex-lover, their father

She didn't even notice, or pay much attention

As the tide came in and swept her three into the ocean

Now all her advice, it seems useless



No, heaven's not a place that you go when you die

It's that moment in life when you touch her and you feel alive

So live for the moment

And take this advice, live by every word

Love's completely real, so forget anything that you have heard

And live for the moment now



This song is so amazing. Beautiful in every way. The guitar and the voice and everything. The story line is very much like what happens now-a-days. I couldn't help but start tearing up when I listened to it. I know pathetic right? But books and music always have some kind of effect on me... Its like when I read a good book everything is just... Silent, quiet, and then I get overwhelmed. All the things that happened and the drama and the shock and just practically everything and I get that nervous feeling in my heart that is screaming one word "WOW!" In music I listen to it and close my eyes. I always try listening to the lyrics first because listening to a song just because you like the beat is pretty lame. Sorry to those of you who do that! As I was saying... I listen to the lyrics and then I replay it again if I like it and then I allow the instruments to play also instead of drowning them out like before. So then you get the whole thing and it makes one beautiful cohesive rhythm.



Weird huh? If you don't do that I suggest you should because it really changes things... Makes you more wise? Mature? I don't know how to explain it. It just... I don't know. It will make sense when you try it. Find the meaning in the depth of everything and I don't just mean music and books, I mean everything. When the sun is blinding your eyes when you wake up in the morning, think about how beautiful it is. How bright and warm its touch on your skin can be. How if it wasn't there you wouldn't exist and if you didn't exist what would the world be like. If you see a shooting star, think about what your wishing for and if its really worth that shooting star to wish for. When you see your family all together think about how happy they look, and if they don't look happy think about why their not happy. Think about what happened and try making it better. If your pet scratches you for gods sake think about why it scratched you! How you could've handled it better to where you couldn't have been scratched in the first place. There are so many things to think about so if your brain dead then I've got nothing for you. :P Just try it. Its quite... Different... :]
