Handful of names
Gonna put'em someplace safe
So I don't have to face another day
Running on the side
It does not feel right
'Cause I don't have the right
To take away
Over and over and over again
These are the things that
I want you to hear
Throw away thought and
Replace it with fear
The time is now the place is here
The song that we wanted was sung
By the free
But newspaper headlines
Hold no melody
The time is now so sing it for me
You'd better get it right
'Cause we can't start over
From the moment I'm awake
I think about the stakes
And whether I should just go
Back to sleep instead
Losing what's mine
At that place in time
I started learning how it feels
To be alone
Over and over and over again
These are the things that
I want you to hear
Throw away thought and
Replace it with fear
The time is now the place is here
The song that we wanted was sung
By the free
But newspaper headlines
Hold no melody
The time is now so sing it for me
You'd better get it right
I know someday when we get old
We can talk about the day
That I came home
These are the things that
I want you to hear
Throw away thought and
Replace it with fear
The time is now the place is here
The song that we wanted was sung
By the free
But newspaper headlines
Hold no melody
The time is now so sing it for me
You'd better get it right
'Cause we can't start over
