I am outside
And I've been waiting for the sun
With my wide eyes
I've seen worlds that don't belong
My mouth is dry
With words I cannot verbalize
Tell me why
We live like this
Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me, yeah
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored?
Give us life again
Cause we just wanna be whole
Lock the doors
Cause I'd like to capture this voice
It came to me tonight
So everyone will have a choice
And under red lights
I'll show myself it wasn't forged
We're at war
We live like this
Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored?
Give us life again
Cause we just wanna be whole
(Ah, ah)
(Ah) tower over me
(Ah) tower over me
(Ah)
And I'll take the truth at any cost
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored?
Give us life again
Cause we just wanna be whole
And I've been waiting for the sun
With my wide eyes
I've seen worlds that don't belong
My mouth is dry
With words I cannot verbalize
Tell me why
We live like this
Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me, yeah
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored?
Give us life again
Cause we just wanna be whole
Lock the doors
Cause I'd like to capture this voice
It came to me tonight
So everyone will have a choice
And under red lights
I'll show myself it wasn't forged
We're at war
We live like this
Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored?
Give us life again
Cause we just wanna be whole
(Ah, ah)
(Ah) tower over me
(Ah) tower over me
(Ah)
And I'll take the truth at any cost
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored?
Give us life again
Cause we just wanna be whole

Ok I'm going to regret posting this...
This song reminds me of something you scream when you've done something you regret, and you're asking for forgiveness.
Right now, I'm regretting something I did. I was listening to Riot! and I was on my bed, and this song came on. I suddenly screamed, threw my cd at the wall and collapsed into a nearly sobbing heap.
Now I'm playing it on repeat, and I dunno. Now I've asked for forgiveness I can now move on and feel better :) But I still choke when I sing along with the chorus
I hate being this soppy ahahaha, I swear I'm not usually like this.
