I can tell that you've been crying for a while It's the way the light fell, caught you by surprise And I've been told you came to find a way to wander With the nomads, no one's left here To protect us from our own devices Play it on the radio Set it on fire We're sitting in the back row Waiting for our turn to shine Let it all fall apart And put it on backwards We're living on a fault line And sister, I can tell That you've been fighting for survival Waiting for some kind of guide or shining light And I've been told That you've been starting to wonder If your heart will answer If your story ends happily ever after Play it on the radio Set it on fire We're sitting in the back row Waiting for our turn to shine Let it all fall apart And put it on backwards We're living on a fault line We're playing for time We're playing for time If your story ends happily ever after Play it on the radio Set it on fire We're sitting in the back row Waiting for our turn to shine Let it all fall apart And put it on backwards We're living on a fault line We're playing for time We're playing for time
