Just an Experience

Build

Chorus

I am just an experience

Happening now, happening here

Nothing less, nothing more

But this is true

I'm just an experience and so are you

Verse

We wrap ourselves in soothing words

We tell them every day

Who we are, what we've been through

The words we always say

But the story is not the river

It's just the name we gave

We built a self from soothing words

And carry it upon the grave

Chorus

I am just an experience

Happening now, happening here

Nothing less, nothing more

But this is true

I'm just an experience and so are you

Verse

And what we do to ourselves

We do to everyone

We meet our idea of a person

Not the living one

A figment dressed in memory

A futuristic picture displayed on the mind

We look — but we are not yet seeing

The one you could not find

Chorus

I am just an experience

Happening now, happening here

Nothing less, nothing more

But this is true

I'm just an experience and so are you

Build

Drop

I see you

Not the name, not the past

Not the story I was keeping

I see you — at last

I see you

Beyond the words, beyond the frame

Nothing standing between us

Just this — just us

Don't get lost in the story

Don't get lost in the story

Don't get lost in the story

Of you and me

Chorus

I am just an experience

Happening now, happening here

Nothing less, nothing more

But this is true

I'm just an experience and so are you

Outro

Just this

Just here

Just you

Just now

Don't get lost in the story of you and me
