Monday finds you like a bomb

It’s been left ticking there too long

You’re bleeding

When you try your best but you don’t succeed

Some days there’s nothing left to learn

From the point of no return

You’re leaving

When you get what you want but not what you need

Hey hey I saved the world today

Everybody’s happy now

The bad things gone away

And everybody’s happy now

The good thing’s here to stay

Please let it stay

When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep

There’s a millions mouths to feed. I’ve got everything I need

I’m breathing

Stuck in reverse

When the tears come streaming down your face

These a hurting thing inside. I’ve got everything to hide

I’m grieving

When you lose something you can’t replace

Hey hey I saved the world today

Everybody’s happy now

The bad things gone away

And everybody happy now

The good thing’s here to stay

Please let it stay

When you love someone but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you.

Hey hey I saved the world today

Everybody’s happy now

The bad things gone away

And everybody happy now

The good thing’s here to stay

Please let it stay

When you’re too in love to let it go

If you never try you’ll never know

Just what you’re worth

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face

When you lose something you can’t replace

I promise you I will learn from all my mistakes

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you.
