lyrics

I used to pray
Every time I heard the sirens wail away
Didn’t second guess, maybe I thought that I could save

I’d count to five
Every time I saw lightning strike
When the thunder clapped I’d know that we were safe from fire

I used to think
I was special, I was different, I was right
Something moving through me wouldn’t let me tell a lie

I pushed and pulled
Hammered you with questions til you broke
Yelled until you cried in the name of the holy ghost

I ran away
To a place where no one knew me, tried to put this all behind me
Tried to flee my memory

One early morn
I was wrestling with a dream when I heard
Sirens closing in, couldn’t even count to one

But I was rushed
And how could talking at the sky even help
So I hurried on my way, and when I got there I found out
