lyrics

Let the trigger go
Put your weapons down
Time to contemplate

It’s not who you know
It’s not what you do
It’s not what you make

Oh, water’s running down every single drain
Chemicals react in you and me the same now

You gotta take a breath
You can’t separate

Why you wanna run me out of town?
Why you wanna wear each other down?
Why you wanna run this like a race?
No matter how you get there
All of us are going to the same place

You’re on a sugar high
Put your soda down
Decarbonate

All your present needs
Will make your future bleed
They can all wait

Oh, Kelly knows a Richard, Richard knows a Jane
Jane knows a Marcus, Marcus is the same guy
That you used to be
Don’t look away

Why you wanna run us out of town?
Why you wanna wear each other down?
Why you wanna treat this like a race?
All of us are going
All of us are going to the same place
Water’s running down every single drain
Chemicals react in you and me the same now
You gotta take a break

Why you wanna run us out of town?
Why you gonna wear each other down?
Why you wanna treat this like a race?
Both of us are going
Both of us are going to the same place

Why you wanna wear each other down?
