I left my wallet in the hotel room
They barely let me on the plane
I didn't get a chance to check the news
Somebody shot up a classroom again
And when you said the cops just let them die
I heard the shaking in your voice
And for a moment you began to cry
Then I heard you make a choice
We can find a time to fall apart
Say the names of all the dead
I'm still dreaming in my heart
Of hearts
But something's changing in my head
Swear you'll save the world
When I lose my grip
Tell me you're in control
Swear you'll save the world
When I start to slip
Cause you'll be the first to know
Balloon poppin' at the grocery store
My heart jumpin' in my chest
I look around to find the exit door
Which way out of here's the best?
The kids lookin' through the candy aisle
School's startin' in a week
The lady says you have a lovely child
And I'm too terrified to speak
Can we keep her here at home instead?
Can we teach her how to fight?
Something's changing inside my head
Something's drowning out the light
Swear you'll save the world
When I lose my grip
Tell me you're in control
Swear you'll save the world
It's why you say the world has gone to sleep
You'll be the first to know
It's why you say the world has gone to sleep
You'll be the first to know
Swear you'll save the world when I lose my grip
Tell me you're in control
Swear you'll save the world when I start to slip
Cause you'll be the first to know
Swear you'll save the world when I lose my grip
