“hurry shan, she’s waiting there for you(le)”

[Verse 1: Rivers Cuomo]
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry, boy, it’s waiting there for you"

[Pre-Chorus: Nat Ćmie]
You let me cry, and wipe my eyes
And make me feel something other than

[Chorus: Rivers Cuomo]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred mеn or more could ever do
I blеss the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never have

[Verse 2: Nat Ćmie, Hayley Williams]
Oh
I look into your eyes and see a bright white light
And you turn this horrible place
Into
Orange light, sunset in sight, you tell me not to
Be so hard on my own beauty
Reality will break your heart
Survival will not be the hardest part
It’s keeping all your hopes alive
When all the rest of you has died

[Pre-Chorus: Nat Ćmie]
You let me cry, and wipe my eyes
And make me feel something other than

[Chorus: Rivers Cuomo]
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never have

[Outro: Nat Ćmie]
Shake me awake from a bad dream
With my eyes
Open
