Restless to begin A wave comes crashing in The band on stage is tuning Jacarandas are blooming Your face sketched in the trees Puts my mind at ease Beneath the water frozen The Merrimack River is flowing Thunder rolling over Don't say you're not amazed when you know you are And don't say you're not afraid when you know you are Rows of boys and girls Line up to see the world Candy-coated promise Just out of reach when you want it Give me something sweet Bring me to the brink I'll leave without hesitation To a world without limitation Rock me patient, slowly Don't say you're not amazed when you know you are And don't say you're not afraid when you know you are You know you are A world that moves too fast A mouth of broken glass It may not seem so painful By January, the rain will swallow Change will follow Don't say you're not amazed when you know you are Don't say you're not afraid when you know you are You know you are I know you are
