I left my wallet in the hotel room
They barely let me on the plane
I didn’t get a chance to check the news
Somebody shot up a classroom again
And when you said the cops just let 'em die
I heard the shaking in your voice
And for a moment you began to cry
Then I heard you make a choice
We can find a time to fall apart
Say the names of all the dead
I’m still dreaming in my heart of hearts
But something's changing in my head
Swear you’ll save the world when I lose my grip
Tell me you’re in control
Swear you’ll say the word when I start to slip
'Cause you’ll be the first to know
Balloon popping at the grocery store
My heart jumping in my chest
I look around to find the exit door
Which way out of here’s the best
The kid's looking through the candy aisle
School's starting in a week
A lady says, "You have a lovely child"
And I’m too terrified to speak
Can we keep her here at home instead
And can we teach her how to fight?
Something's changing inside my head
Something's drowning out the light
Swear you’ll save the world when I lose my grip
Tell me you’re in control
Swear you’ll say the word when I start to slip
You’ll be the first to know
Swear you’ll save the world when I lose my grip
Tell me you’re in control
Swear you’ll say the word when I start to slip
'Cause you’ll be the first to know
Swear you’ll save the world when I lose my grip
Tell me you’re in control
Swear you’ll say the word when I start to slip
'Cause you’ll be the first to know
They barely let me on the plane
I didn’t get a chance to check the news
Somebody shot up a classroom again
And when you said the cops just let 'em die
I heard the shaking in your voice
And for a moment you began to cry
Then I heard you make a choice

I’m still dreaming in my heart of hearts

Tell me you’re in control
