When you said alright

I thought you meant alright

When you said that's fine

I thought you meant that's fine

I guess some standards don't always apply



When the kid goes home

He always goes alone

He hides in the machine

And always stays fourteen

Well there's really nothing wrong with the plan

He goes to sleep at night and holds his own hand

It's inconceivable there could be an end



Who brings you back when you're gone gone gone...

Who keeps saying your prayers when you blow 'em off

Who keeps alive the concept of mom

Who cares to care when they're really scared

When you're really scared



When you said alright

I thought you meant alright

When you said that's fine

I thought you meant that's fine

Well there is the answer on the tip of my tongue

There's the bubble on the face of the moon

There's a chamber that should always be full



Who brings you back when you're gone gone gone...

Who keeps saying your prayers when you blow 'em off

Who keeps alive the concept of mom

Who cares to care when they're really scared

When they're really scared



Who brings you back when you're gone gone gone...

Who keeps saying your prayers when you blow 'em off

Who keeps alive the concept of mom

Who cares to care when they're really scared

When they're really scared



When they're really scared
