Lyrics[]
I fall apart, I call her out.
I follow her!
I'm calling her!
Happy now? (For me?)
Happy now? (Happy now!)
And we shouldn't be awake, we shouldn't be awake...
BUT I AM!! (I AM!)
Ah!
SAVE OUR NOW!
BUT ARE WE HAPPY NOW? ...FOR ME?
HAPPY NOW?
SAVE OUR, SAVE OUR NOW!
I fall away,
I call at the world.
I fall alone...
I call alone...
Happy now? (For me?)
Happy now? (Happy now!)
And we shouldn't be awake, we shouldn't be awake...
BUT I AM!! (I AM!)
Ah!
SAVE OUR NOW!
BUT ARE WE HAPPY NOW? ...FOR ME?
HAPPY NOW?
SAVE OUR,
SAVE OUR NOW!
I'll never know if the wander in the wilderness
Is all I've ever wanted and is all I've ever known!
Are we crying now?
