Play

(The physical universe is basically playful

There is no necessity for it what so ever

It isn't going anywhere

That is to say, it doesn't

Have some destination that it ought to arrive at

But it is best understood by the analogy with music

Because music as an art form is essentially playful

We say, "you play the piano", you don't work the piano

Why?)

Awake at 3am

I'm missing home again

Is this the life that I had planned?

Doesn't matter what I've done

Or how many things I've won

'Cause in the end I'd feel the same

When the lights go down

And they call last round

Hope I lived, hope I loved

As much as I, I could of

Without rushing to the end

Stayed true to who I am

I hope that I played

Hope that I played my favorite song

While dancing all night long

And laughed until I cried with my friends

'Cause when this story ends

It's easy to forget just how to play

So I'm just going to play

I'll play my symphony

Won't judge the melody

As long as it strikes a chord for me

See My mum and dad, they told me

Regret will kill you slowly

Don't let it catch you in the end

When the lights go down

And they call last round

Hope I lived, hope I loved

As much as I, I could of

Without rushing to the end

Stayed true to who I am

I hope that I play

I hope that I played my favorite song

While dancing all night long

And laughed until I cried with my friends

'Cause when this story ends

It's easy to forget just how to play

So I'm just going to play

Play, ooh

When the lights go down

And they call last round

(In music though

One doesn't make the end of a composition

The point of the composition

If that was so, the best conductors would be those who played fastest

And there would be composers who only wrote finales

People would go to a concert just to hear only one crashing cord, 'cause that's the end

Same way in dancing, you don't aim at a particular spot in the room

That's where you should arrive

The whole point of the dancing is the dance)

I hope that I play, play, play

(But we missed the point the whole way along

It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing or dance

While the music was being played)

Just go and play
