Heavy is the mind that's filled with worry Paralyzed by sad news on TV All I get from sleep are these strange and apocalyptic dreams How do I make them leave? I must erode my strength to look out the window No children on the sidewalks, no cars on the streets Isn't it ironic, this used to be a holiday scene Now we're under siege Is it okay if I close my eyes? Is it okay if I take my time? Just for a little while Just for a little while Just for a little while Heavy is the heart that's filled with memories The happy, tragic, and mundane in-betweens Jodie was right when she said You don't know what you got till it's gone But it's all gone So is it okay if I close my eyes? Is it okay if I take my time? Just for a little while Just for a little while Just for a little while It's okay We won't be the same And forever change I cannot unsee What's in front of me We won't be the same And forever change I cannot unsee What's in front of me Oh, it's all in front of me Is it okay if I close my eyes? Is it okay if I take my time? Oh, is it okay if I close my eyes? Is it okay if I take my time? Just for a little while Just for a little while Just for a little while Heavy is the soul that's gone to war With questions of who's really in control So I plead, and I plead myself to fight To see that this is where I'm supposed to be Right now
