[Verse 1]
We were in a race to grow up
Yesterday, through today, ’til tomorrow
But when the plant blew up
A piece of shrapnel flew and slowed that part of you

[Verse 2]
The doctors gave you until the end of the night
But not ’til daylight (not ’til daylight), not ’til daylight (not ’til daylight)
Time passes slower in the flicker of a hospital light
I pray the race is worth the fight

[Verse 3]
Made a fool of myself down on Tennessee Street
It wasn’t pretty like the movies, it was ugly like what they all did to me
And they did to me what I wouldn’t do to anyone
You know that’s for sure

[Outro]
Tell me all the time not to worry
And think of all the time that I’ll have with you
When I won't wake up on my own (wake up on my own)
Held close all of time knowing I’m half of you
