You know you're not the only one
When they all come crashing down, midflight
You know you're not the only one
When they're so alone they find
A back door out of life
You know you're not the only one
We're all grieving
Lost and bleeding
All our lives,
We've been waiting
For someone to call our leader
All your lies
I'm not believing
Heaven shine a light down on me
So afraid to open your eyes, hypnotized
You know you're not the only one
That never understood this life
And you're right, I don't deserve you
But you know I'm not the only one
We're all grieving
Lost and bleeding
All our lives
We've been waiting
For someone to call our leader
All your lies
I'm not believing
Heaven shine a light down on me
Don't look down
Don't look into the eyes
Of the world beneath you
Don't look down, you'll fall down
You'll become their sacrifice
Right or wrong
Can't hold onto the fear
That I'm lost without you
If I can't feel
I'm not mine
I'm not real
All our lives
We've been waiting
For someone to call our leader
All your lies
I'm not believing
Heaven shine a light down on me
Quote from Amy:
The song is about some of my experiences as a teenager with close-mindedness. I thought the people around me seemed lost in a world that I really didn't belong in. It's kind of spiritual. We originally called the track "Tuna Afternoon," because I made tuna noodle casserole that day. We still call the song "Tuna Afternoon." Sometimes it's hard to get past that working title.
