Save the World

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 say the word when I start to slip

You'll be the first to know

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?

The kid's looking for the candy aisle

School's starting in a week

Lady says, "You have a lovely child"

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 say the word when I start to slip

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 say the word when I start to slip

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 say the word when I start to slip

You'll be the first to know
