[Verse 1]
AmSuddenly, I just foCund myself waiting for the pGhone to ring
And I‘m hEiding out sGimply ‘cuz it’s scaring me
Not Amrelying on the people that I Cought to be 
Another mEonth or two of Geverybody testing me
[Chorus]
    AmWoah..F  
And iCt’s time.
And iEt's time.
(Repeat)
[Verse 2] (Same guitar progression as Verse 1)
So much to do, I’ll be lucky just to open up this parachute
As we’re falling closer I’ll be holding onto you
Wake me up when it is over if I get through
And all the things to you I promised will be coming soon
Repeat Chorus

FI’m tired of Cwriting on the Gback of these Fpostcards
CDescribing Geverything that you’ve miFssed so far

[Verse 3] (same as Verse 1 and 2)
I’m not surprised, that it’s never obvious to all the other guys
When I’m with you I’m invisible, it’s my disguise
Everybody get behind me, you can form a line
Just hope you’re comfortable standing there your whole life.
