When The Kids Are Gone Lyrics

Run through the hallway to escape who I am
If I only knew how or where to begin
I would drop to my knees
Now you see how I plea

Hand to my heart on the edge of the bed
Shaken and tormented by what's in my head
My tears flood every seed
Go on take what you need

Now I'm lost inside a moment
The hush before the omen decides
And I'm clutching to the feeling
The rush before the healing resigns

When the kids are gone
When the kids are gone

Then when I asked if I will meet your demands
Steeples in darkness holding faith by the hand
I don't know what it means
When you say just believe

I can't hide in the shadows of you
Asleep in the pines, the edge of our youth
I will drop to my knees
On belief-killing street

Now I'm lost inside a moment
The hush before the omen decides
And I'm clutching to a feeling
The rush before the healing resigns

When the kids are gone
(When the kids are gone)
When the kids are gone

When the kids are gone
(When the kids are gone)
When the kids are gone

(And you keep holding on)
(And you keep holding on)

When the kids are gone
(When the kids are gone)
When the kids are gone

When the kids are gone
(When the kids are gone)
When the kids are gone

(And you keep holding on)
