Save Yourself

Can you leave the door cracked?
'Cause I might just come back
In the form of a whisper, deep and delivered
Through sad songs and cigarettes
We're cashing in our checks
From time we invested and patience we tested
We paid our debts

You're living in the presence of an instant classic
Built from distress flares from the overdramatic and hopeless romantics
We've all been burned, we'll stand our ground
This is our time now

At a crossroads undetermined, in the crosshairs
Inconsistent and under wraps
Trying not to save yourself
And all this time we're turning back
The second chances we never had
You come face to face with the fact that

You're living in the presence of an instant classic
Built from distress flares from the overdramatic and hopeless romantics
We've all been burned, we'll stand our ground
This is our time now

Light a spark before the fire's out
And if we give up now no one will stick around to catch us before we hit the ground
(Catch before we hit the ground)

You're living in the presence of an instant classic
Built from distress flares from the overdramatic and hopeless romantics
We've all been burned, we'll stand our ground
This is our time now

At a crossroads undetermined, in the crosshairs
Inconsistent and under wraps
Trying not to save yourself
Through sad songs and cigarettes
We're cashing in our checks
You're lying in the presence of an instant classic
This is our time now
