Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You can hear, hear it comin'
Like a train outta control
Surely, leaves you wonderin'
Exactly where your ticket goes
Scream at the conductor
He's been deaf for twenty years
Hear the other people laughin'
As he grinds to every gear
[Verse 2]
Go to grab your nerve
You find that it's been missin'
Seems you've lost your faith
In everyone you know
Well, I surely hope
That you don't plan on winnin'
Better start payin' more attention
The ones who throw you clear
You are seconds from the impact
And we're movin' way too slow
[Verse 3]
You say time will surely mold you
Into somethin' you don't like
Now you're runnin' like a rabbit
Stick your finger in the dike
[Verse 4]
Look around your room
You find the paint is peelin'
Your reflective skin is fallin' off your bones
Well, I must admit
I know just how you're feelin'
Must grab each other's collar
Must rise out of the water
'Cause you know as well as I do
That it's no fun to die alone
[Verse 5]
After all that I've been through
You're the only one that matters
(Climb to safety)
You've never left me
In the dark here, on my own
(Climb to safety)
I can hear the water risin'
Lemme be your ladder
(Climb to safety)
I promise you'll be dry
And never be alone
[Verse 6]
You tell me love
Has always scared you
Like the things under your bed
Maybe we can walk on water
Like some junkies swore they did
[Verse 7]
You call me on the phone
You say that it is crucial
Stick your fingers in your ears
Till they explode
Like his business
It'd roll along as usual
Must grab each other's collar
Rise out of the water
'Cause you know as well as I do
That it's no fun to die alone
[Verse 8]
After all that I've been through
You're the only one that matters
(Climb to safety)
You've never left me
In the dark here, on my own
(Climb to safety)
I can hear your water risin'
Lemme be your ladder
(Climb to safety)
I promise you'll be dry
Never be alone
(Climb to safety)
[Verse 9]
After all that I've been through
You're the only one that matters
(Climb to safety)
You've never left me
In the dark here, on my own
(Climb to safety)
I can hear your water risin'
Lemme be your ladder
(Climb to safety)
I promise you'll be dry
And never be alone
[Verse 10]
Hey, yeah, climb to safety
Oh-oh, climb to safety
Safety, yeah, yeah
Climb to safety
