| Time stands still when you’re always underage
|
| So we learned to fake it like actors on a stage
|
| Everyone we knew told us just what to do and how to feel about it
|
| All our illusions fell. |
| We knew them so well until we learned to doubt all of it
|
| All the children know if you jump you fall. |
| And if you jump too high,
|
| you fall harder than before
|
| All the children say, «Why'd you let me down? |
| Tell me, when you going to come
|
| around?
|
| I can’t live my life underground. |
| Tell me, when you going to come around?»
|
| Calling, mama
|
| Calling, mama

|
| Blue lights and shadows, we grew up way too fast
|
| They stole our future. |
| But they can’t steal our past
|
| Everyone knows that’s where you go if you have to run now
|
| If I’m not back by dawn, tell them I’ll be gone and I’ll stay gone somehow
|
| All the children know if you jump you fall. |
| And if you jump too high,
|
| you fall harder than before
|
| All the children say, «Why'd you let me down? |
| Tell me, when you going to come
|
| around?
|
| I can’t live my life underground. |
| Tell me, when you going to come around?»
|
| «Hold your tongue. |
| Hold your tongue. |
| Hold your tongue. |
| Hold your tongue, boy.»
|
| Stop staring, stop staring, stop staring, stop staring, stop staring,
|
| stop staring, stop staring, stop staring, stop staring, stop staring,
|
| stop staring, stop staring at everyone
|
| All the children know if you run, you fall. |
| And if you run too fast,
|
| you’ll fall harder than before
|
| All the children say, «Why'd you let me down? |
| Tell me, when you going to come
|
| around?
|
| I can’t live my life underground. |
| Tell me, when you going to come around?»
