Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave
Without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change, the less you feel

Believe, believe in me
Believe, believe

That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same, we're different
Tonight
Tonight, tonight, so bright
Tonight
Tonight

And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade
In your city by the lake
The place where you were born

Believe, believe in me
Believe, believe

In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there's not a chance
Tonight
Tonight, tonight, so bright
Tonight
Tonight

We'll crucify the insincere tonight (Tonight)
We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight (Tonight)
We'll find a way to offer up the night (Tonight)
The indescribable moments of your life (Tonight)
The impossible is possible tonight (Tonight)
Believe in me as I believe in you

Tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight
Tonight

The world is a vampire
Sent to drain
Secret destroyers
Hold you up to the flames
And what do I get
For my pain?
Betrayed desires
And a piece of the game

Even though I know
I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold
Like ol' Job

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
Someone will say, "What is lost can never be saved"
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage

Now I'm naked
Nothing but an animal
But can you fake it
For just one more show?
And what do you want?
I wanna change
And what do you got!
When you feel the same?

Even though I know
I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold
Like ol' Job

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say, "What is lost can never be saved"
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage!

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was an only son, yeah
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was an only son, for you

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage
And someone will say, "What is lost can never be saved"
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage!

Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a…
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a…
Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was an only son, for you

And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved

Ain't it funny
How we pretend we're still a child
Softly stolen
Under our blanket skies

And rescue me from me
And all that I believe

I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace, here with you
Will you leave me too?

Carve out your heart
For keeps in an old oak tree
And hold me for goodbyes
And whispered lullabies

And tell me I am still
The man I'm supposed to be

I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace, here with you
Will you leave me too?
Will you leave me too?

Too late to turn back now, I'm runnin' out of sound
And I am changin', changin'
And if we died right now, this fool you love somehow
Is here with you

I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace, here with you
Would you leave me too?
Would you leave me too?
