Second Acts - We Are Scientists

Well, don’t be taken aback

We can’t afford to make this any messier than it needs to be

You know it’s not an attack

Just a series of pointed questions, and I swear my only intention is to keep it

clear

So, if you’re waitin' for some slack

You’re not gonna get it, 'cause I haven’t got anything left to pass

And if you even have to ask

You’re, probably, not ready, so, maybe, you should ready yourself for that

I’d love to say that my mind’s made up

Let’s hope our mistakes are all behind us now

And pray there’s always time for second acts

Another quick equation

As if crunching any numbers ever helped us to explain a thing

And, now, we’re left with the remainder

Seems like it’s always just the same, but how it was can never be reclaimed

Why don’t you save yourself some math?

It’s not worth addressin', and we’re really only guessing here anyhow

And if you even have to ask

You’re probably not ready, so, maybe, you should ready yourself for that

I’d love to say that my mind’s made up

Let’s hope our mistakes are all behind us now

And pray there’s always time for second acts

(Time for second acts…)

There’s time for second acts…

(Time for second acts…)

There’s time for second acts…

(Time for second acts…)

There’s time for second acts…

(Time for second acts…)

There’s time for second acts…

I’d love to say that my mind’s made up

Let’s hope our mistakes are all behind us now

And pray there’s always time for second acts
