Dadadada dadada Well if I only had four minutes twenty-seven seconds left to live And if my guitar was conveniently placed on my lap and a pick in my fingers And if only two hundred ninety-nine words could come out of these lips It'd probably sound like this: Dadadada dadada Well if I looked out my window and saw everybody running away And if I was the only person I knew who ever wanted to stay And then suddenly under my feet, the ground would start to violently shake I wouldn't move, I wouldn't move Everyone is running fast away Let's take our time I am happy here, why does it have to change Right here is fine by me, fine by me Dadadada dadada Well if the walls around me suddenly started collapsing and caving in And if the debris suddenly randomly just burst into flames And if it turns out that the world as we know it is really coming to an end I'd keep playing like this, like this 'Cause everyone is running fast away Let's take our time I am happy here, why does it have to change I'm happy, I'm happy What's the point in running all the time, it's not right, it's not right Where will we run to in the end, when all this has dissipated? Are we gonna wait until we're lying face down on the asphalt exhausted and jaded To find what has been patiently waiting in front of us this whole time? Let's take a step back now 'Cause everyone is running fast away I am happy here, why does it have to change Right here is fine by me, it's fine by me Everyone is searching far away It's right here, it's waiting I am happy here, I want to stay I'm happy now Dadadada dadada
