Oh, my God
It's been so long
I'm a passenger, satellite
Still hanging on
Man, am I terrified?
'Least I can say that I tried
Man, am I burning alive?
What have I become?
Sadness don't own me for long
All that time, over too soon
And there's panic rising up, spilling out
Eclipsing the moon
Deep, deep, down
Getting back up
Check your jacket pocket
Check your jeans
But it's not enough
Man, am I terrified?
(Take it all away)
'Least I can say that I tried
(When I'm still the same)
Man, am I burning alive?
What have I become?
Oh, sadness don't own me for long
(Own me for long)
What have I become?
Oh, sadness don't own me for long
(Own me for long)
