Wrong Place, Wrong Time

Lyrics by Denver and Ex
Music by Denver and Victor

And so he wakes up - in time to break down
He's running late for school again,
But he's right on time
You don't know anything - right or wrong
I said I know
And he said so
I wanna panic but I've had it so I go
We don't owe anything to anyone

But don't take your life,
Because it's all that you've got
You'd be better off just up and leaving
If you don't think they will stop

And when you wake up
Everything is going to be fine
I guarantee that you wake in a better place
And in a better time
So you're tired of living
And you feel like you might give in
Well, don't.
It's not your time.

Looking through the paper today
Looking for a specific page
Don't want to find his full name followed by dates
Because when I left him alone
He told me clearly it shone
"I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time."
Fuck buying flowers for graves
I'd rather buy you a one way non-stop
To anywhere
Find anyone
Do anything
Forget and start again, love
He said he won't go
...And that's that.

It hurts too much to stand by
You've got to stop and draw a line
And everyone here has to choose a side tonight
The moment of truth is haunting you
Don't forget your family, regardless of what you choose to do
You can't decide
And they're all screaming "Why won't you?"
I'll start the engine, but I can't take this ride for you
I'll fill your bath and I'll load your gun
But I hope so bad that you'll bathe and hunt.

And when you wake up
Everything is going to be fine
I guarantee that you wake in a better place
And in a better time
So you're tired of living
And you feel like you might give in
Well, don't.
It's not your time.

And even if it was
Oh, I wouldn't let you go
You could run run run, run but I will follow close
Someday you will say, "That's it, that's all"
But I'll be waiting there with open arms to break your fall
I know that you think that you're on your own
But just know that I'm here
And I'll lead you home
If you let me
He said, "forget me"
But I can't.
