If there was a way

If there was a way out

Well you could be the first one

Waiting in line

You don't like change

So why you wanna get out

When everything was beautiful

It's hard to define

Oh I know, I know

I know I did wrong

So wrong [?] at a show

You [?]

If you wash away alone

It would have to scream please
