lyrics

I just want it to be quiet
I just want to hear the end of things
I'm just looking for the silence
For my heart to stop racing

But I can't so I won't
No I can't 'cause I won't
Oh I can't so I won't
No I can't 'cause I won't

I just want it to be wild
I just want to make a mess of things
I just don't want to get tired
To just keep on moving

But I can't so I won't
No I can't 'cause I won't
Oh I can't so I won't
No I can't 'cause I won't

I just want it to be time
I just want to learn to cross the line
I just want to make amends
To be good, be better...

But I can't so I won't
No I can't 'cause I won't
Oh I can't so I won't
No I can't 'cause I won't
But I can't so I won't
No I can't 'cause I won't
Oh I can't so I won't
No I can't 'cause I won't

Raise the flag- wave it high and tall
Raise the flag- wave it loud and strong
Raise the flag- raise it with your arms
Raise the flag- then just let it fall

I just want it to be quiet
