lyrics

And doctor can you tell me
What’s the antidote?
I think I’ve been drinking poison
Think I’ve had a fatal dose
And this time
If that’s true
There must be something more that you can do.
Considering the lightning
And what would happen if
It could only slow down
And think of what it did
If it had a will of its own
Where will it go?
And I'm still
Sawn in two
Each time I see you
The cloud of smoke
Slowly clears
And everything's still here.
And I'm scared I’m only anywhere
Through what I didn’t do
I became and then stayed alive
And then ran into you.
And don't care if that’s true
There must be something more that I can do.
And I'm still
Sawn in two
Each time I see you
The cloud of smoke
Slowly clears
And everything's still here.
