  • Who's at the door now?
    Who's at the door now?

    Sun goes down, windows wide
    One step closer to the other side
    I can feel what others do
    Can't stop this if I wanted to

    Hey kid, what's the plan for tomorrow?
    Where will I wake up? Where will I wake up?
    Hey kid, what's the plan for tomorrow?
    Where will I wake up? Where will I wake up?

    Hurry now, boy, time won't wait
    The here and the now will separate
    There's some things you cannot choose
    Soul and spirit moving through

    Hey kid, what's the plan for tomorrow?
    Where will I wake up? Where will I wake up?
    Hey kid, what's the plan for tomorrow?
    Where will I wake up? Where will I wake up?

    Who's at the door now?
    Who's at the door now?
    Wake up
    Who's at the door now?
    Wake up
    Wake up
    Wake up
    Wake up
    Wake up
    Wake up
    Wake up
    Wake up

    Two cold stones on a riverbed
    Ripped and torn, cannot mend
    Old white candles on a dusty porch
    One flame down, another born

    Hey kid, what's the plan for tomorrow?
    Where will I wake up? Where will I wake up?
    Hey kid, what's the plan for tomorrow?
    Where will I wake up? Where will I wake up?

    Who's at the door now?
    Who's at the door now?

    You showed me how to breathe, never showed me how to say goodbye
    You showed me how to be, never showed me how to say goodbye
    Every page turns, it's a lesson learned in time
    You showed me how to breathe, never showed me how to say goodbye

    Try and make good with the air that's left
    Counting every minute, living breath by breath
    By breath, by breath, by breath
    By breath, by
    Try and make good with the air that's left
    Counting every minute, living breath by breath
    By breath, by breath, by breath
    By breath, by

    You showed me how to need, never showed me how to say goodbye
    You showed me how to grieve, never showed me how to say goodbye
    Every page turns, it's a lesson learned in time
    You showed me how to need, never showed me how to say goodbye

    Try and make good with the air that's left
    Counting every minute, living breath by breath
    By breath, by breath, by breath
    By breath, by
    Try and make good with the air that's left
    Counting every minute, living breath by breath
    By breath, by breath, by breath
    By breath, by

    Goodbye
    Goodbye
    Goodbye
    Goodbye Writer/s: Christopher Shiflett, David Grohl, Nathan Mendel, Pat Smear, Rami Jaffee
