[Refrain]
Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
[Verse 1]
Feels like I'm waking from the dead
And everyone's been waiting on me
'Least now I'll never have to wonder
What it's like to sleep a year away
But were we indestructible
I thought that we could brave it all (all)
I never thought that what would take me out
Was hiding down below
[Pre-Chorus]
Lost the battle, win the war
Bringing my sinking ship back to the shore
We're starting over, or head back in
There's a time and a place to die but this ain't it
[Chorus]
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
[Refrain]
Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
[Verse 2]
Wish I could find a crystal ball
For the days I feel completely worthless
You know I'd use it all for good
I would not take it for granted (granted)
Instead, I'd have some memories
For the days I don't feel anything
At the least, they will remind me
Not to make the same mistakes again
[Pre-Chorus]
Lost the battle, win the war
Bringing my sinking ship back to the shore
We're starting over, or head back in
There's a time and a place to die but this ain't it
[Chorus]
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
[Bridge]
There's a time and a place to die
There's a time and a place to die
And this ain't it
There's a time and a place to die
And this ain't it, this ain't it
This ain't it
There's a time and a place to die
There's a time and a place to die
But this ain't it, no
[Chorus]
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
[Outro]
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
