i was born ready, baby

Singer:we are the emergency

(all these words they fall and form a noose around my neck

and i know just how to break them

all these words they fall and form a noose around my neck

but i keep choking

choking on regret)

someone do me a favor please. make some room for me to breathe

on your way out

burst my heart. take my breath away. my dreams keep me from waking

i keep wishing there was somewhere

in between where we could meet

but i'm afraid to fall asleep

take my breath away. open my eyes

without control

you're walking away. (so go back to the arms you thought were safe. and i'll find an excuse

but each time i get closer and closer to you.)

and i'm out of time

so i'll leave you this way. and i can't explain

but it's not ok. take my breath away. open my eyes

without control

and i can't explain

all these words they fall
