lyrics

“Face To Face”
(Music and lyrics by Brian López)

Go fall in love while you can
This is the best thing you have
Then tell the wind
To spread the word

Be a face-to-face telegram
An ancient verse buried in the sand
The time is now
Have you heard?

Izzy was a timid spaceman
Spinning out into a place he’d never been
‘Til he caught that breeze
Closed his eyes in disbelief
Don’t it feel good this time?

So go fall in love while you can
May it be the best thing that you’ve ever had
You’ve played it cool
So make your move

Be a face-to-face telegram
A faded line scribbled on your hand
You've read the book
But do you know the words?

Sarah was a model/actress
Learning lines to forget the life she left
‘Til she caught that breeze
Closed her eyes in disbelief
Don't it feel real this time?

Alex was a racecar driver
Cutting corners to avoid his fatal crash
‘Til he caught that breeze, boy
Closed his eyes in disbelief
Don’t it feel good this time?
