Hawthorne Heights
Life on Standby
[Intro: JT Woodruff, with Casey Calvert]
The distance and my heart's to sand
Flowing through the hourglass
Time to let go of all we know
Break our hearts in stride

[Verse 1: JT Woodruff]
I need you now more like yesterday
The last day I could see you smile
For the last time turn out the lights
My life on standby
So standby and watch this fall away and fall apart

[Chorus: JT Woodruff, Casey Calvert]
Just say that it's over
It's over and she's gone
Now she's gone
“Don't worry”, he said
And she's not coming home
She's not coming home
It's over and she's gone

[Verse 2: JT Woodruff, Matt Ridenour]
The distance and my heart's to sand
Flowing through the hourglass
I fall to pieces
I can't let go of all the times I never said goodbye (of all the times I never said goodbye)
[Chorus: JT Woodruff, Casey Calvert]
Just say that it's over
It's over and she's gone
Now she's gone
“Don't worry”, he said
And she's not coming home
She's not coming home
It's over and she's gone

[Breakdown: JT Woodruff, Casey Calvert, JT Woodruff and Matt Ridenour]
Wake up
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up! (wake up, now it's over)
Wake up! (just tell me it's ok to die)
Wake up! (wake up, now it's over)
Wake up! (just tell me it's ok to die)
Wake up, now it's over
Just tell me it's ok to die
Wake up, now it's over
Just tell me it's ok to die
