 x 2
When  the time  comes
That  you're no longer  here
Fall  down to my  knees
Begin  my nightmare
Words  spill from my drunken  mouth
I  just can't keep'em all  in
I  keep up with the racing  rats
And  do my best to  win
 (same as verse 1)
 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 skyline in your eyes
 Reaching up to god
 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
 (same as verse 1)
 Let's pretend we never met
 Let's pretend we're on our own
 We live different lives
 Until our covers blown
 I push my hand up to the sky
 Shade my eyes from the sun
 As the dust settles around me
 Suddenly nightime  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
 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
