lyrics

Never thought it would be us we called them fools
When we still had time to kill and we were still in school
But the time is getting harder to kill it seems
Try to battle all your demons with broken dreams
Give it to me now

Give it a minute and we’ll figure it out
Please don’t go and throw it all away
Too many sleepers and you’re going south
You only live to fight another day

When you walked from the wreckage of the car
Did you think of all your friends who loved you from afar?
Now you’re upside down no more highs on the ground
Try to laugh it off but you don’t make a sound

Where do you go when you try to find an escape?
I could show you a place
Just come out of the hole that you’ve dug down
Deep in the ground
Time to turn this around

Give it a minute and we’ll figure it out
Please don’t go and throw it all away
Too many sleepers and you’re going south
You only live to fight another day
You’re getting sentimental sitting around
And now you’re gonna throw it all away
Too many sleepers kid you’re going south
You only live to fight another day
