I found a riddle in the basement of my childhood home
I couldn't solve it, but I know I did back then

And I found love down by the river
I found comfort in your talk
It's lonely when you hold the key to nothing
Lonely in the kingdom of the gone

Come and magnify this
And magnify this
The beauty of it all

I was a preacher and the underdog
Preachin' in an empty church
Crawling with my sins through the echo
Singing 'bout heartbreak and the ocean
'Til I'm tired of hearing myself talk
Oh, it's lonely when you hold the key to nothing
Lonely in the kingdom of the gone

And you magnify this
You magnify the beauty of it all

Come and let me be the one to notice
Let me be the one to grow it
Let me be the one to call you up before it's all over
Let me be the one to see you, to love you,
And love you all over again

And you magnify this
And you magnify this
Magnify the beauty of it all
