Passing streets
Where kids don't cry
And their fathers lie
And mothers just carry on
With their bodies on other men

There's a war
Right inside us
Maybe next door
But we just carry on tryin' to save another world

Pre-chorus:
What's it gonna be (x3)
For you and me
(repeat)

Chorus:
Wake me when it's over
Cos I don't want it anymore
Wake me when it's over
Cos I don't wanna use it anymore

So tell me
Where are they going?
A place called "missing"?
Maybe I need to sing for her over there
And maybe
If the people up there
And the people stop talking
Their eyes could see what I could see
And things could change

(pre-chorus & chorus)
