wait a minute

So tell me something you wish
You had known back when you were my age
('Cause I just wanna know) 'cause I don't wanna look back
(Yeah, I just wanna know) feeling just the same

So you grab me by the shoulder, throw me down
Hold your knife to my face
(If it's driving you insane) then what's the point of thinking
(And it just gets in your way) and you don't have to say

Oh-oh-oh
If it's paradise that's after life
I wonder why we waste our time
On the world (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh-oh-oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh-oh-oh

It's not black and white, I recognize
Won't learn to lie or turn the tide
Of the world (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh-oh-oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh-oh-oh (oh, oh)

When I fake my own death
I'm gonna go to the wake in disguise
(I just wanna know) does anybody love me?
(Yeah, I just wanna know) would anybody cry?

Yeah, they're bawling outta habit
And of course they all said something nice
(I'm waiting here and there) but listen to 'em laughing
(Does anybody care?) They're having a good time

Oh-oh-oh
If it's paradise that's after life
I wonder why we waste our time
On the world (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh-oh-oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh-oh-oh

It's not black and white, I recognize
Won't learn to lie or turn the tide
Of the world (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh-oh-oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh
If it's paradise that's after life
I wonder why we waste our time
On the world (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh-oh-oh (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh-oh-oh

It's not black and white, I recognize
Won't learn to lie or turn the tide
I wonder why we waste our time
Oh-oh-oh
