"It's just five minutes,"
The little girl said
In just five minutes
She could be dead
In just five minutes
A war could start
In just five minutes
You could break your heart
"It's just five minutes,"
My little sister did moan
But in just five minutes
I'd be all alone

I woke up late
And dropped a contact down the drain
I walked to school dry
Until it started to rain
My lunch had expired
And a bully had her fun
I was horribly tired
Then I walked home
This time I cried
But on the path near my house
I wiped my tears and grinned
Because even though right now
Everything may not be okay
Tomorrow I am getting
A lovely new day

She was a wonderful girl
All the writers wrote
She was a wonderful girl
Until she slit her throat

Can you hear me cry
Can you see my dreams all die
From where your standing
On the Leaving Landing

Silver plattered chances
A way to start out new
Sweeping ballroom dances
Are all just as impossible as you
