lyrics

You're tossing and turning
just watching the world go round
as the leaves change colors
in other towns

and you're lying with the tv on
just dreaming about stars
counting down the minutes
and the hours

'til you can make a run for it
'til you can break free from all this shit
these temporary people living temporary lives
in a land of paper heroes with nothing on the inside
and you say you don't believe in hope
but I can see it in your eyes

and you're waiting for the leaves to change
sun so hot upon your face
trying to put yourself back together
now that everything's been misplaced

but the leaves don't change color here
you've known that all along
you're just killing time, my dear

'til you can make a run for it
'til you can break free from all this shit
all these temporary people living temporary lives
in a land of paper heroes
with nothing on the inside
you say you don't believe in hope
but I can see it in your eyes

You take one step forward and one step back
you've worn a hole through the floorboards
just living your life like that

and those bricks wont change color
and that lamp won't rise or set
you've got a heart full of memories
that you don't want to forget
no no now no no no now

you're staring out the window
just watching passing cars
dreaming away the minutes
and the hours

'till you can make a run for it
'till you can break free from all this shit
these temporary people living temporary lives
in a land of paper heroes with nothing on the inside
and you say you don't believe in hope
but i can see it in your eyes

and maybe we'll make it out of here
yeah we'll just have to see
and you say there's nothing to believe
but please believe in me

and i swear i'll do the best I can
if you'll just let me try
and I promise if you take my hand
it'll be alright
I said I promise if you take my hand
well it'll be alright
