[Pre Chorus]
I just hope your Fheart stays stable when you're Ccaned and Gunable to Fspeak
to me againG  
[Chorus]
We never made it to the Fstart of the Crace
Guess we thought that in the Gend we would be Amsaved
There's someone up in the Fsky looking Cdown over Gme

There's someone up in the sFky looking Cdown over Gme
We took the blankets and we Fslept on the Cbeach
Chewed our candy till we Gcouldn't feel our Amteeth
Is this the way its gonna Fbe until Cour time is Gup?
