lyrics

do you think I'm just
frozen in time
a static thing
never change

do you think that I'm
just biding my time
until the end
of all things

do you think I'm just
waiting patiently
for the sky
to crack open
and a hand
to come down
for me
is that me
is that me

I don't think I've got
too many things
to worry about, sometimes
but you know
I might be crazy
I don't think there's
anything at all
worth crying for, maybe

you know, it happens sometimes
it's just like that
and I don't mind
you know it, these things
they happen sometimes
it's like that, I think
I think it's fine
I think it's about time

look out, there's a crash
about to, about to happen
somewhere out there
look out, there's a crash
it's coming our way, yeah

oh, they said
so long ago they said
you know, you better watch yourself
look what you've done before
look what you've done before

you know they told us
so long ago
you just take your time
take your time
and you will find it all in time
you know they told us
these things so, so long ago

sometimes you forget
what's right in front of your eyes
and turn it into something
in some kind of disguise
that you can then despise
you don't mind, then, when it dies
you don't cry
you don't mind when
it doesn't even say goodbye
just turns away and says hey
to something else
to someone else

oh, I thought I needed it
more than anything
in my whole life
but I don't know

oh, I thought I needed it
more than anything in town
more than anyone in here

and I thought that I would find
true happiness
if I just had
a little more, yes
a little more
a little more, yes
but guess what
you were wrong
you're always wrong

hey, it's up, the sky, the air
it's open sky
it's open air
there's clouds everywhere

darling, but no
but no, it's
it's never past the time
to decide, honey
honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, yeah

it's never past the time to decide
honey, honey, honey, mmmm...

you know we told you
we told you
we told all of you this
don't even try
to hold on
because it's too late
it's too late, I'm sorry
I'm sorry, honey
all the people will cry
all the people will die
