We have to sleep
with our eyes wide open
Our souls get reaped
one by one with the scythe and the sun
We try to sleep
every night if we can
I wish I could sing in front of a crowd
fit for two
And the only other person there
is you
We will always be loud
when the quiet man don’t stand
If you don’t talk to us
we’ll probably make some noise
so you can speak up
and tell us all the choices that you’ve made
Ooooooo
I’ve never cared about anything
as much as I do now
I don't care how long it takes to make
as long as we are loud
I hope that you enjoy yourself
but your head’s still in the clouds
We will always be loud
when the quiet man don’t stand
If you don’t talk to us
we’ll probably make some noise
so you can speak up
and tell us all the choices that you’ve made
I’d like to live in the moment
but I just want to go back
I want you in my future
but I just want to go back
You were always there for me
We would always be loud
and the quiet man was me
And we will never be proud
of what we let people see
When you didn’t talk to us
you were probably making noise
so you can speak up
and tell us all the choices that you’d made
