lyrics

Somewhere in ourselves we drown in our doubt,
and the noose that fits so snugly, slowly chokes the life out,
and we silently cling to all of our dreams,
there's one way to be loose, we've all got to choose,

so bide and waste your time,
and tell yourself you're free,
and market your worth,
then just keep waiting,

somewhere inside we choose to hide,
buried beneath the surface, a sense of purpose,
too timid to search, we'll pass it on by,
to keep ourselves from living we'll keep feeding the lie,

so wind and grind your gears,
and tell yourself you're happy,
and filter those reminders,
then just keep waiting for the day

waiting for the day,
waiting, waiting away,
waiting, waiting for the day,
waiting, waiting away,

somewhere along the way, we face it some day,
will we choose regret, if we lived our lives in debt,
it's dizzying and monotonous, we all clutch our crutches,
limping toward a life lived in vain,

so try and burn your fear,
and tell yourself you're right,
no blanketing remorse,
then just keep waiting,
just keep waiting,
just keep waiting,
just keep waiting,

keep it inside yourself and don't let it out,
then train the truth, not a lie,
and don't let it trick you when it stares you in the eye,

live with love,
and tell yourself you're okay,
and illuminate your life,
then stop waiting,
just stop waiting,
just stop waiting,
just stop waiting,
just stop
