Take me on a whim
It's not the sun that provides us
It's not the moon that divides us
I can barely swim
And the current's coming in
And the current's coming in again
Stand up when you hear your name
'Cause I think that we're the same
We've got the same old hands
We've made the same old plans
Bail out to the yellow raft
It's got a hole, but we can last
We'll watch until it fades away, -ay, -ay, -ay
Time to take it over
Look how far we've come
Some were never meant to come around
Some were never meant to leave the ground
Time to take it over
Look how far we've come
Some were never meant to come around
Some were never meant to leave the ground
I've been painted gin
It's not the color I came in
It's not the shirt that I stain in
Hang me on a limb
And the current's coming in
And the current's coming in again
Stand up when you hear your name
'Cause I think that we're the same
We've got the same old hands
We've made the same old plans
Bail out to the yellow raft
It's got a hole, but we can last
We'll watch until it fades away, -ay, -ay, -ay
Time to take it over
Look how far we've come
Some were never meant to come around
Some were never meant to leave the ground
Time to take it over
Look how far we've come
Some were never meant to come around
Some were never meant to leave the ground
Time to take it over
Look how far we've come
Some were never meant to come around
Some were never meant to leave the ground
Time to take it over
Look how far we've come
Some were never meant to come around
Some were never meant to leave the ground
Stop right there, I've got a hole inside my chest
Until it fills up, I won't be satisfied
Stop right there (stop right there), I've got a hole inside my chest
Until it fills up (until it fills up), I won't be satisfied
Stop right there, I've got a hole inside my chest
Until it fills up...
Time to take it over
Look how far we've come
Some were never meant to come around
Some were never meant to leave the ground
Time to take it over
Look how far we've come
Some were never meant to come around
Some were never meant to leave the ground
It's time to take it over
Step out into the sun
(Some were never meant to leave the ground)
It's time to take it over
And look how far we've come
(Some were never meant to leave the ground)
We've come
