20 Seconds (feat. David Cook)

Alarm bells ring a warning sound

As I'm lifted off the ground

Floating out of bodies, minds

With the new apple of my eye

The sweetest nectar of appeal has thread itself a poison needle

Pricking us so we finally feel

Twenty seconds till the gasoline is caught up to the fire

Twenty seconds till reality is mixed up with desire

Less than a minute to make the wrong decision

Cloudy inhibition shrouded in suspicion

And the only thing constant is time

With blinders on a fool believes, despite the dark they can see

In shallow pools they're on both knees

Underwater trying to breathe

My words aren't often true or deep

And I have promises to keep

And miles to crawl before I sleep

Twenty seconds till the gasoline is caught up to the fire

Twenty seconds till reality is mixed up with desire

Less than a minute to make the wrong decision

Cloudy inhibition shrouded in suspicion

And the only thing constant is time

And the only thing

Twenty seconds out the window

Seasons prove that everything grows old

Twenty seconds out the window

Seasons prove that everything grows old

Twenty seconds out the window

Seasons prove that everything grows old

Change, it flows, like blood to the heart

While we're growing further apart

Alarm bells ring a warning sound

As I'm lifted off the ground
