The Unforeseeable Fate of Mr. Jones Foster the People

[Verse 1]
Well Mr. Jones took a terrible fall
He had built the stairs but he hadn't counted them all
And the lights and the pain said it would rain
He said it would snow
He always said that, wherever he would go
And he would write down his thoughts on the wall

[Pre Chorus 1]
Something about the power of it all
Call if you care for me at all
I've been surrounded by this loneliness
And if I could I would do it all over again
And I would be calm and wait for you
To show me all the things that no one else can do
Now what you need, what you got, what you want from me
I've got the wild inside to conquer and then I'll be free

[Chorus 1]
If I was free, if I was free
I would fly in between the moons of consciousness
And ride on the back of a shooting star
And float into your arms

[Verse 2]
And when he woke up, he went outside and changed the light bulb
Figured out that life was worth living when you could see
The doctor said they'd counseled him before and his tired mind of war
