[Verse 1]
And if you lock every door I will be climbing your fences
You can ask me to leave but I will stay
I'll say it again and again until you get the message
But if you silence the noise then we can't play
[Pre-Chorus]
And don't you wanna play?
[Chorus]
Can't run if we never crawl
Big wave, get your head above
Loose change, don't you want it all?
Yeah, I want it all
[Verse 2]
While you were closing the curtains, I was holdin' 'em open
Nobody knew in that moment that they should stay
Oh, it's a sign of the times, it's as big as an ocean
Oh, it's a wrecking ball, it's a tidal wave
Yeah, it's a tidal wave
[Chorus]
Can't run if we never crawl
Big wave, get your head above
Loose change, don't you want it all?
Yeah, I want it all
Can't run if we never crawl
Big wave, get your head above
Loose change, don't you want it all?
Yeah, I want it all
[Bridge]
It's on the tip of my tongue which is starting to numb
From the cold, cold words that just won't come
And the fate that I had in a promised land
Is rotting out like a fruit gone bad
And our fate, oh it's in the black
It's our fate, oh it's in the black
[Pre-Chorus]
And don't you wanna play?
[Chorus]
Can't run if we never crawl
Big wave, get your head above
Loose change, don't you want it all?
Yeah, I want it all
Can't run if we never crawl
Big wave, get your head above
Loose change, don't you want it all?
Yeah, I want it all

Tim McIlrath:
We came up with a real simple riff that felt powerful, and we decided not to overthink it. I think that Rise Against has lots of strengths, but if I was to speak about our weaknesses, we can get lost down the rabbit hole of a song and overthink it until we’ve just sucked the life out...
