| When the time comes | |
| But you're no longer there | |
| Fall down to my knees | |
| Begin my nightmare | |
| Words spill from my drunken mouth | |
| I just can't keep them all in | |
| I keep up with the racing rats | |
| And do my best to win | |
| Slow down little one | |
| You can't keep running away | |
| You mustn't go outside yet | |
| It's not your time to play | |
| Standing at the edge of your town | |
| With the skylight in your eyes | |
| Reaching out to gods | |
| The sun says its goodbyes | |
| If a plane were to fall from the sky | |
| How big a hole would it leave | |
| In the surface of the earth? | |
| Let's pretend we never met | |
| Let's pretend we're on our own | |
| We'll live different lives | |
| Until our cover's blown | |
| I push my hands up to the sky | |
| Shade my eyes from the sun | |
| As the dust settles around me | |
| Suddenly night time has begun | |
| If a plane were to fall from the sky | |
| How big a hole would it leave | |
| In the surface of the earth | |
| The surface of the earth? | |
| Come on, now, you knew you were lost | |
| But you carried on anyway | |
| Oh, come on, now, you knew you had no time | |
| But you let the day drift away | |
| If a plane were to fall from the sky | |
| How big a hole would it leave? | |
| And if a plane were to fall from the sky | |
| How big a hole would it make | |
| In the surface of the earth | |
| The surface of the earth | |
| The surface of the earth? |
