Evacuation Lyrics

Mom, do you know where my passport is

Do you think my friend Hannah will be on the same ship as us

Take your time, live your life, don't let it pass you by

Head on home, live a lie, let out a sigh

Things are perfect as they are, so why should we try

Seems to me like you forgot, it's really not

It's time to go, pack up the show

This is a full-scale evacuation

The last train moves slowly out, with or without

What would be the journey's end? Could they comprehend

Endless streams of people flowing through the city streets

Waiting quite impatiently, trying to find their seats

On this hunk of metal that will fly into the skies

Off to find a better place away the jet flies

We have a liftoff, 33 minutes past the hour

Our world starts to crumble into space

Run home, run to your family

There should be no fear because we're home

I turn to my family and ask

Will you stand with me until the end

Well, what do you know

She had dreams like you and me

Now most of them may never be

Because all of us lived selfishly

Well, what do you know

She has to play grown-up early

Because the adults lived carelessly

And she knows it has to change to be

Better than this, stop the past from repeating

Stop the hearts it's eating

Evacuate the bad thoughts from your mind

We'll find a way tonight

Well, what do you know

He had dreams like you and me

Now he's in a state of agony

He has to choose between himself or family

Well, what do you know

We just wanted to live happily

But the evil took that from you and me

Now we're left to just live poorly

While they escape before we can see

It could be

Better than this

Stop the past from repeating

Stop the hearts it's eating

Evacuate the bad thoughts from your mind

We'll find a way tonight

Better than this, stop the past from repeating

Stop the hearts it's eating

Evacuate the bad thoughts from your mind

We'll find a way tonight
