In other lives
In a bulletproof suit with some friends of mine
I wrote the plotline
Only I knew who survived
Who survived
And through the night
In a really fast car on an uphill climb
Blew past a danger sign
And fell through darkness, sublime
But awoke just in time
They re gonna come to light tonight
They re gonna come to light tonight
They re gonna come to light tonight
But not for the last time
Interlude: (listen for the timing)
Verse 2:
In younger days
I do my schoolwork while the neighbors play
But stare into space
With no feeling to convey
With no look on my face
(same)
In younger days
I m stealing bases while my mother prays
And dreading to wake
Longing for one more play
Chorus:
They re gonna come to light tonight
They re gonna come to light tonight
They re gonna come to light tonight
But not for the last time
Outro:
I don t know what everyone was looking at
I don t care what everyone was laughing at
I don t know what everyone was staring at
I think, I think that it s me
(same)
I don t know what everyone was looking at
I don t care what everyone was laughing at
I don t know what everyone was staring at
I think, I think that it s me
Didn t I tell you that I could hear you running out?
Didn t I find you when I knew you were hiding out?
Didn t I see you when you thought you d never stand out?
Didn t I find you? Didn t I find you?
I don t know what everyone was looking at
I don t care what everyone was laughing at
I don t know what everyone was staring at (they re gonna come to light tonight)
I think, I think that it s me
Didn t I see you when you thought you d never stand out? (I think, I think that it s me)
Didn t I find you? (They re gonna come to light tonight)
I think, I think that it s me
I don t know what everyone was looking at
I don t care what everyone was laughing at
I don t know what everyone was staring at
I think, I think that it s me
Didn t I see you when you thought you d never stand out?
(mute strings)
Didn t I find you? (They re gonna come to light tonight)
I think, I think that it s me
