Lyrics

You took me to the restaurant where we first met Knocked a future shock crowbar upside my head I got caught with the stop of the tick-tock, tick-tock clock When you told me what you knew Lost in the moment The day that the music stopped And I do remember you Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth Promising volcanic change of plot Where will this lead us, I'm scared of the storm The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born I tried to tell you, I am not afraid You looked up and saw it, all across my face So am I with you or am I against? I don't think it's that easy, we're lost in regret Now I'm trying to remember The feeling when the music stopped When you told me what you knew Lost in the moment The day that the music stopped And I do remember you Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth Promising volcanic change of plot Where does this leave us, I'm scared of the storm The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth Promising volcanic change of thought Where does this leave us, I'm scared of the storm The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born The outsiders are gathering A man walks away when every muscle says to stay How many yesterdays, they each weigh heavy Who says what changes may come? Who says what we call home? I know you see right through me, my luminescence fades The dusk provides an antidote, I am not afraid I've been a million times in my mind This is really just a technicality, frailty, reality Uh, it's time to breathe, time to believe Let it go and run towards the sea They don't teach that, they don't know what you mean They don't understand, they don't know what you mean They don't get it, I wanna scream I wanna breathe again, I wanna dream I wanna float a quote from Martin Luther king I am not afraid I am not afraid I am not afraid I am not afraid I am not afraid I am not afraid I am not afraid I am not afraid
