[Verse]
Well they locked me up and they threw me away
And the one comfort I would let myself take was that someday
I'd get out, and I would make it home to you
So when the guards spoke up saying on the PA
We had an hour, or less til we’re all blown away
I took the first chance that I got and headed for the parking lot
[Chorus]
Cause if I only got to see you for a minute or two
Well it would all be worth my time
Nothing mattered more, 2, 3, 4 wouldn’t have crossed my mind
Oh sh*t, I think we’d better check the time
[Verse]
Pedal on the floor, a single thought in my head:
With the a-bombs a-falling it's all good in the end
Just to hold you, if only for a minute or two
So with a quarter tank of gas, and just a second to spare
I swear to god the clock stopped, our gaze hung in the air
And I will hold you, even as the world blows up
[Chorus]
Now I only get to see you for a minute or two
But yeah it’s all been worth my time
Nothing matters more, 2, 3, 4
Everything feels just fine
[Bridge]
As the sky fell down, the voice inside of my head
Should've said "run, run away,"
But at The End it kept quiet, f*cking quiet at last
So in the background it’ll stay
[Verse]
Cause I only got to see you for a minute or two
But damn, it all was worth my time
Nothing mattered more, 2, 3, 4 wouldn’t have crossed my mind
Oh sh*t, I think we just ran out of time
