[Intro]
It was a very long time ago when it happened
And not a lot of people know how it happened

[Verse 1]
So I tried to explain
Catch me in the car or on the train
I'll be there waiting, anticipating for the call
I will get in line
I've got coins to pay the fine
Where I'm standing, there's no demanding for reasoning

[Refrain]
It was a very long time ago when it happened
And not a lot of people know how it happened

[Chorus]
But we crash, we crash, we crash, we crash, wе crash
(I tried to tell you something)
Rеact, react, react, react, react
(But you just wouldn't listen)

[Verse 2]
Voice calls out to me
Said, "Gotta get from one to three"
Clock is moving, things are smoothing naturally
Alarm, it sounds at night
I scramble out of bed, wrap my blanket tight
Darkness creeping, walking out into the night
[Verse 2]
It was a very long time ago when it happened
And not a lot of people know how it happened

[Chorus]
But we crash, we crash, we crash, we crash, we crash
(I tried to tell you something)
React, react, react, react, react
(But you just wouldn't listen)
And so we crash, we crash, we crash, we crash, we crash
(I tried to tell you something)
React, react, react, react, react
(But you just wouldn't listen)

[Bridge]
It was a very long time ago
It was a very long time ago
It was a very long time ago
It was a very long time ago

[Chorus]
But we crash, we crash, we crash, we crash, we crash
(I tried to tell you something)
React, react, react, react, react
(But you just wouldn't listen)
[Outro]
You just wouldn't listen
I tried to tell you something
But you just wouldn't listen
