You've told another lie this time
You stood up but your legs aren't moving again
It's your call but it better be the last try
You hold ransom for tuition that I've already spent

So give it up, give it up, it's time
They're auditioning new roles
Hoping we don't catch 'em pulling our legs
Don't go, the audience from last night
Will spread the word and the new crowd's showing up

Throw the dirt and leave the path, feet covered up
So we don't know you're there
Hold your breath until your heart stops beating
Hold your breath until your heart stops beating so fast

Once more, the story of your whole life
For you it's all just a game but the game never ends
You're hiding in the closet while your one night stand's
Waiting with his eyes closed counting to ten

Now, gather around, gather around, hats off
While they're tossing in their quarters
Might as well give all the people a show
Don't cry, I'm not so good at good byes
You're moving on at the same pace I'm giving up

Throw the dirt and leave the path, feet covered up
So we don't know you're there
Hold your breath until your heart stops beating
Hold your breath until your heart stops beating so fast

You're giving orders from the back seat
While the passengers are all unaware
Hold your breath until your heart stops beating
Hold your breath until your heart stops beating so fast

Now, it's all gonna unwind
Hurry up before the sun goes down
It's past 4 o'clock my time
You'll come around, now, you're coming around

And they'll all be fighting for their own rights
And they'll all be delighted just to know we're alive
And they'll all be fighting for their own rights
And they'll all be delighted just to know we're alive

You've told another lie this time
You stood up but your legs aren't moving again
But all your wasted time goes to show
That you're just not giving up

Throw the dirt and leave the path, feet covered up
So we don't know you're there
Hold your breath until your heart stops beating
Hold your breath until your heart stops beating so fast

You're giving orders from the back seat
While the passengers are all unaware
Hold your breath until your heart stops beating
Hold your breath until your heart stops beating so fast

Throw the dirt and leave the path, feet covered up
So we don't know you're there
Hold your breath until your heart stops beating
Hold your breath until your heart stops beating so fast

You're giving orders from the back seat
While the passengers are all unaware
Hold your breath until your heart stops beating
Hold your breath until your heart stops beating so fast

And they'll all be fighting for their own rights
And they'll all be delighted just to know we're alive
And they'll all be fighting for their own rights
And they'll all be delighted just to know we're alive

And they'll all be fighting for their own rights
And they'll all be delighted just to know we're alive
And they'll all be fighting for their own rights
And they'll all be delighted just to know we're alive
