I left my wallet in the hotel roomThey barely let me on the planeI didn't get a chance to check the newsSomebody shot up a classroom againAnd when you said the cops just let them dieI heard the shaking in your voiceAnd for a moment you began to cryThen I heard you make a choiceWe can find a time to fall apartSay the names of all the deadI'm still dreaming in my heartOf heartsBut something's changing in my headSwear you'll save the worldWhen I lose my gripTell me you're in controlSwear you'll save the worldWhen I start to slipCause you'll be the first to knowBalloon poppin' at the grocery storeMy heart jumpin' in my chestI look around to find the exit doorWhich way out of here's the best?The kids lookin' through the candy aisleSchool's startin' in a weekThe lady says you have a lovely childAnd I'm too terrified to speakCan we keep her here at home instead?Can we teach her how to fight?Something's changing inside my headSomething's drowning out the lightSwear you'll save the worldWhen I lose my gripTell me you're in controlSwear you'll save the worldIt's why you say the world has gone to sleepYou'll be the first to knowIt's why you say the world has gone to sleepYou'll be the first to knowSwear you'll save the world when I lose my gripTell me you're in controlSwear you'll save the world when I start to slipCause you'll be the first to knowSwear you'll save the world when I lose my grip
