This Ain't A Scene Lyrics
We had dreams, they were better off dreams
So you kept them away from me
But the time will come, yes, the time will come and we'll need them
This ain't a scene, it's just a generation caught in between
It's just a generation caught in between
You said "Someday they'll need us"
This ain't a scene, it's just a place to be
We won't be settled down until we've seen everything
That we've payed to see
Well, I, I can't bank, I'm somebody's mind to change
I want to know right now how long you've spent being awake
Well, I was wiping all the sleep from my eyes
And you, you were talking about some other time
That you wish you could've been alive
This ain't a scene, it's just a place to be
This ain't a scene, it's just a place for you and me and we can meet
You said "I, I can't bank, I'm somebody's mind to change,
I need to know right now how long you've spent being awake"
But, before you invest, oh you should find a safer bet
And don't you celebrate now because you haven't found him yet
You said "Bury a hole*, it was better buried alive
Oh, we'll call you on the phone, to see if you made it back alive
Oh, well I, I can't bank, I'm somebody's mind to change
I need to know right now how long you've spent being awake
I need to know right now.
So you kept them away from me
But the time will come, yes, the time will come and we'll need them
This ain't a scene, it's just a generation caught in between
It's just a generation caught in between
You said "Someday they'll need us"
We won't be settled down until we've seen everything
That we've payed to see
Well, I, I can't bank, I'm somebody's mind to change
I want to know right now how long you've spent being awake
And you, you were talking about some other time
That you wish you could've been alive
This ain't a scene, it's just a place to be
This ain't a scene, it's just a place for you and me and we can meet
I need to know right now how long you've spent being awake"
But, before you invest, oh you should find a safer bet
And don't you celebrate now because you haven't found him yet
Oh, we'll call you on the phone, to see if you made it back alive
Oh, well I, I can't bank, I'm somebody's mind to change
I need to know right now how long you've spent being awake
I need to know right now.

We had dreams, they were better off dreams So you kept them away from me But the time will come, yeah, the time will come and we'll need them This ain't a scene, it's just a generation caught in between Oh, it's just a generation caught in between You said "Someday they'll need us"
This ain't a scene, it's just a place to be We won't settle down until we've seen everything That we've payed to see I, I can't bank, on somebody's mind to change I need to know right now how long you expect me to wait
Well I was wiping all the sleep from my eyes And you, you started talking about some other time That you wish we could've been alive This ain't a scene, it's just a place to be Oh, this ain't a scene, it's just a place for you and me and we can meet
Well I, I can't bank, on somebody's mind to change, I need to know right now how long you expect me to wait But before you invest, oh you should find a safer bet And don't you celebrate now because you haven't found him yet
Buried alone, it was better than buried alive I will call you on the phone, to see if you made it back alright I, I can't bank, on somebody's mind to change I need to know right now how long you expect me to wait I wanna know right now
