Intro:       x 2

             
When the time comes 
                     
That you're no longer here 
               
Fall down to my knees 
             
Begin my nightmare 
                           
Words spill from my drunken mouth
                        
I just can't keep'em all in 
                        
I keep up with the racing rats
                 
And do my best to win

intro again

(same as verse 1)
Slow down little one 
You can't keep running away 
You mustn't go outside yet 
It's not your time to play 
Standing at the edge of your town
With the skyline in your eyes
Reaching up to god
                          
The sun says its goodbyes

                                
If a plane were to fall from the sky 
                       
How big a hole would it leave 
                          
In the surface of the earth 

(same as verse 1)
Let's pretend we never met 
Let's pretend we're on our own 
We live different lives 
Until our covers blown 
I push my hand up to the sky 
Shade my eyes from the sun 
As the dust settles around me 
                        
Suddenly nightime has begun 

                                
If a plane were to fall from the sky 
                       
How big a hole would it leave 
       
In the surface of the earth 
The surface of the earth 

     
Come on now 
                 
You knew you were lost
                   
But you carried on anyway
        
Oh come on now
                   
You knew you had no time 
                            
But you let the day drift away 

                                
If a plane were to fall from the sky 
                            
How big a hole would it leave 
                               
If a plane were to fall from the sky 
                       
How big a hole would it make 
       
In the surface of the earth 
The surface of the earth
                       
The surface of the earth
