Handful of Names

Handful of names Gonna put 'em someplace safe So I don't have to face another day Running on the side It does not feel right 'Cause I don't have the right to take away Over and over and over again again These are the things that I want you to hear Throw away thought and replace it with fear The time is now the place is here The song that we wanted was sung by the free But newspaper headlines hold no melody The time is now so sing it for me You'd better get it right 'Cause we can't start over From the moment I'm awake I think about the stakes And whether I should just go back to sleep instead Losing what's mine At that place in time I started learning how it feels to be alone Over and over and over again again These are the things that I want you to hear Throw away thought and replace it with fear The time is now the place is here The song that we wanted was sung by the free But newspaper headlines hold no melody The time is now so sing it for me You'd better get it right I know someday when we get old We can talk about the day that I came home These are the things that I want you to hear Throw away thought and replace it with fear The time is now the place is here The song that we wanted was sung by the free But newspaper headlines hold no melody The time is now so sing it for me You'd better get it right 'Cause we can't start over
