The cold night wasn't trouble enough for him Another swallow never seemed like enough for him They say the past is the past but it never treated me like this He couldn't ask for a better understanding of how What goes around comes back around twice as fast He's got no hope for a cure so he'll put himself to sleep, oh Now we just sit back, we sit back While we watch all of them react So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen The start to the finish, come on and let me hear you speak Oh, and use up all the time you're given The start to the finish come on and let me hear it, go on Go ahead and tell your story She always hoped for him to take her word for word Never knew what it felt like feeling this unsure She's got her eyes on the time But there's no use waiting there for him But she's not in the world alone But she wanted to put herself to sleep So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen The start to the finish, come on and let me hear you speak Oh, and use up all the time you're given The start to the finish, come on and let me hear it Go on, go ahead and tell your stories, your stories, oh Now we just sit back, we sit back While we watch all of them react So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen The start to the finish, come on and let me hear you speak Oh, and use up all the time you're given The start to the finish, come on and let me hear it Tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen The start to the finish, come on and let me hear You got to speak, oh, and use up all the time you're given It's time to come on, go ahead and tell your story
