Save

You know that thing on the tip of your tongue

Gotta go and search through the files

That thing you shouldn't be saying

Got one go around who you saying it for

Everyone up in arms

You must be alright

Got everything figured out

How many you've hurt along the way

And ignored

You think you're saving us all

But you're driving me away

I don't wanna be saved

See the error of your ways when the era's gone

Save your judgments 'till the mob's gone past

Save your shoulda beens from what you are

Save your opinions for anyone who asks

Save all the pretense for your show, the encore

You're putting us to sleep with all this blah blah blah

I'm here to save you from always thinking it's better before

Nearsighted by far

Adrift wherever you are

I know you see yourself as a tugboat

We're a stalled barge

You think you can save us all

I know you think you can pull us out alone

With your open arms

I see you waving me away

To another place

What if you never lived up to what you think you are

What if you've always been wishing on a dead star

What you perceived to be closed was actually ajar

Hindsight shows just how far off the mark

Building damns, drying reservoirs

What looked so close was actually quite far
