Where do we go when it's over

To some carnival by the shore

Or back to our mother's home

Playing monopoly on the floor

If I had eight lives I'd split it in half to four

And leave all of the others to the heartbroken lovers who'd always wanted more

I know the game changes

And the wheel of fortune is left spinning out of time

But when the show's over

And we're walking off the stages of this life

I just want your hand in mine

We're at the fairgrounds playing existential bumper cars

Getting blindsided by the moment

And backhanded by the stars

You always take me to go out to eat at the arcade bars

And there's comfort there in knowing that the endgame isn't ours

I know the game changes

And the wheel of fortune is left spinning out of time

But when the show's over

And we're walking off the stages of this life

I just want your hand in mine

Maybe God's pressing buttons on the controls in the sky

And maybe we're just players pre-programmed to question why

And maybe we could play this out until the end of time

I know the game changes

And the wheel of fortune is left spinning out of time

But when the show's over

And we're walking off the stages of this life

I just want your hand in mine
