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 um' die
I heard the shaking in your voice
And for a moment you began to cry
And 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 somethings changing in my head
Swear you'll save the world
And I lose my grip
Tell me you're in control
Swear you'll save the world
And I start to slip
Cause you'll be the first to know
Alone shopping 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
The kids looking through the candy isle
Schools starting in a week
A lady says you have a lovely child
And I'm too terrified to speak
Can we keep her here at home instead
And can we teach her how to fight
Somethings changing inside my head
Somethings drowning out the light
Swear you'll save the world
And I lose my grip
Tell me you're in control
Swear you'll save the world
And I start to slip
You'll be the first to know
Swear you'll save the world
And 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
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
