There in the back are the red flags, got em in a row
They're snapping, grabbing your hand
But you know they're gonna let go
Flapping just for show, pulling at a bow
You can't, no you can't, no you can't, no you can’t
No you can’t, no you can’t, no you can’t
You can’t wait all your life
You can't know, you can't know, you can’t know
You can’t know, you can’t know, you can’t know
You can’t, you can’t know when it's time
You paint up your face
Put holes in the wall
Pick your shoes and now for a walk
Then turn the lights off
Let's find you some space
Here's all you can crawl
Ch-ch-choose the time you can talk
And show your belly off
We've got aims
To go out alive
We buy booze on saturday night
A crew, crew accrues
Hot from the drain
You don't know know know what you want
No, you're giving it up
But to glorify who?
Hopping like a spot on the window
Backseat of a car
You're crossing, un-crossing your eyes
Don't you let em hit the phone pole
Duck em down below
Lose em in the snow
You can't, no you can't
You can't wait all your life
You feel the weight
Giving all its force
To only be released
When you're new again
You'll study every little word
You'll pick its heart out
You'll beat the air until it blurs
You'll wear your arms out
Pull away, pull away
