Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] And when you said the cops just let 'em die I heard the shaking in your voice And for a moment you began to cry Then I heard you make a choice [Pre-Chorus 1] 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 [Chorus] Swear you'll save the world when I lose my grip Tell me you're in control Swear you'll say the word when I start to slip 'Cause you'll be the first to know [Verse 3] Balloon popping at the grocery store My heart jumping in my chest I look around to find the exit door Which way out of here's the best [Verse 4] The kid's looking through the candy aisle School's starting in a week A lady says, "You have a lovely child" And I'm too terrified to speak [Pre-Chorus 2] Can we keep her here at home instead And can we teach her how to fight? Something's changing inside my head Something's drowning out the light [Chorus] Swear you'll save the world when I lose my grip Tell me you're in control Swear you'll say the word when I start to slip You'll be the first to know [Chorus] Swear you'll save the world when I lose my grip Tell me you're in control Swear you'll say the word when I start to slip 'Cause you'll be the first to know [Chorus] Swear you'll save the world when I lose my grip Tell me you're in control Swear you'll say the word when I start to slip 'Cause you'll be the first to know
