Lyrics
0:14Please wake me up before you go
0:18Hurry up and wait
0:20Now run like the wind
0:23Make your escape
0:24Make your escape
0:25But don't you look back
0:28Or you'll turn to dust
0:31We're going nowhere
0:33Come follow us
0:35No mountain's too high
0:38Be faithful and leap
0:40Or do nothing at all
0:43Just die in your sleep
0:46You have every right
0:48To take your own life
0:51I was thinking about leaving
0:54While God was sleeping
0:56Now is a perfect time
1:06But I do understand
1:08Why you're afraid of the future
1:11I'll go back in time
1:14Try to change your mind
1:17You'll be a martyr
1:19For all of mankind
1:22But once you're in hell
1:25Don't be afraid
1:27Try to keep cool
1:29With the decision you madе
1:32Or wait on Christ
1:35To save your life
1:37You haven't seen him oncе
1:40And you won't see him twice
1:42Ooh
1:43Kill for fun
1:45Till the thrill is gone
1:48But business is business
1:50The deal is done
1:53Now is a perfect time
2:02Go ahead and talk to yourself
2:05While you look in the mirror
2:08The perfect time to make things happen
2:11Perfect time to be born
2:14Perfect time to keep on living
2:16Perfect time to move on
2:19Perfect time to help a stranger
2:21Perfect time to make friends
2:24Perfect time to ask for forgiveness
2:26'Cause anytime life ends
2:29Perfect time to turn off your TV
2:32Perfect time for no phone
2:34Perfect time to break out of prison
2:37Perfect time to go home
2:40Perfect time to lose your religion
2:42Perfect time to be odd
2:45Perfect time to do all you've wanted
2:47Before you go and see God yes
Please wake me up before you go Hurry up and wait Now run like the wind Make your escape Make your escape But don't you look back Or you'll turn to dust We're going nowhere Come follow us No mountain's too high Be faithful and leap Or do nothing at all Just die in your sleep You have every right To take your own life I was thinking about leaving While God was sleeping Now is a perfect time But I do understand Why you're afraid of the future I'll go back in time Try to change your mind You'll be a martyr For all of mankind But once you're in hell Don't be afraid Try to keep cool With the decision you madе Or wait on Christ To save your life You haven't seen him oncе And you won't see him twice Ooh Kill for fun Till the thrill is gone But business is business The deal is done Now is a perfect time Go ahead and talk to yourself While you look in the mirror The perfect time to make things happen Perfect time to be born Perfect time to keep on living Perfect time to move on Perfect time to help a stranger Perfect time to make friends Perfect time to ask for forgiveness 'Cause anytime life ends Perfect time to turn off your TV Perfect time for no phone Perfect time to break out of prison Perfect time to go home Perfect time to lose your religion Perfect time to be odd Perfect time to do all you've wanted Before you go and see God yes
