Fifteen Minute Climb

so you made the news today. to throw it all away
 and now you've got your bland new place in line
 you know i'd love to stay but the message can't relay
 got to thinking sometimes the wrong choices turn out to be right
 three lives to sign away. so when do we get paid?
 plug it in and stamp my hand for life
 you know it sounds all wrong. they killed my favorite song
 teenage crushes mold their mind cause if we don't who will?
 one day you'll be walking down the street in your home town
 and all the ones who love you now were the ones who put you down
 turn the clock back to the time when our luck ran so low
 after that night i want you to know, i'm gonna take on the world
 and if that's not enough. we never called your bluff
 we saw it coming from a mile away
 a mile seems so far while driving in my car
 i start to realize that i can't see past my own two hands
 one day you'll be walking down the street in your home town
 and all the one's who love you now were the one's who put you down
 turn the clock back to the time when our luck ran so low
 after that night i want you to know, i'm gonna take on the world
 the tide is coming in. the water's running thin
 i can't remember what state we were in
 to set the record straight. it came two years too late
 have the guts to take your consolation prize and die
