Save the World Songtext
von Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit

I left my wallet in the hotel room
They barely let me on the plane
I didn′t get a chance to check the news
Somebody shot up a classroom again

And when you said the cops just let them die
I heard the shaking in your voice
For a moment you began to cry
Then I heard you make a choice

We can find a time to fall apart
Say the names of all the dead
I'm still dreaming in my heart of hearts
But something′s changing in my head

Swear you'll save the world when I lose my grip
Tell me you're in control
Swear you′ll say the word when I start to slip
You′ll be the first to know


Balloon popping at the grocery store
My heart jumping in my chest
I look around to find the exit door
Which way out of here's the best?

The kid′s looking for the candy aisle
School's starting in a week
Lady says you have a lovely child
I′m too terrified to speak

Can we keep her here at home instead?
Can we teach her how to fight?
Something's changing inside my head
Something′s drowning out the light

Swear you'll save the world when I lose my grip
Tell me you're in control
Swear you′ll say the word when I start to slip
You′ll be the first to know

Swear you'll save the world when I lose my grip
Tell me you′re in control
Swear you'll say the word when I start to slip
You′ll be the first to know


Swear you'll save the world when I lose my grip
Tell me you′re in control
Swear you'll say the word when I start to slip
You'll be the first to know
