GET UP KIDS - Ten Minutes
ten minutes to downtown is ten minutes too far
when my friends all say i'm crazy,
maybe i'm being selfish
maybe i'm just scared
don't be gone when i get home... i need you there
if i had to explain it i wouldn't know were to start
it's like you're falling in love, while i just fall apart
ten minutes to downtown is ten minutes too far
when my hartis saying you're crazy maybe things are getting better... maybe
things aren't so bad
don't be g
if i had to explain it,
i wouldn't know where to start
its like you're falling in love while i just fall apart
pockets empty, how can you tell me
that everything will work out...
a pointless fight when you're always right
and everything will work out
sometimes, i miss you more whenever i'm at home
i've been home all summer... now i'm leaving you alone
pockets empty, how can you tell me that everything will work out...
a pointless fight when you're always right and
everything will work out
