For is this the answer to our prayers? Is this what got has sent? Please understand this isn't what we meant
The future couldn't last We nailed it to the past With every word a trap That no one can take back From all the architects Who find their towers leaning And every prayer we pray at night Has somehow lost its meaning
For is this the answer to our prayers? Is this what got has sent? Please understand this isn't what we meant
A long time ago when the world was pretty Standing right here in a different city I’m not coming back anymore Not coming back anymore
Is this the answer to our prayers? Is this what god has sent? Please understand this isn’t what we meant
