lyrics

Waiting for the words to write themselves
Like the books you never read on your shelf
Waiting for the song to start
Like the hopes collecting dust inside your heart

Fall back on what you know
When you’re killing time before the show
Lay back and close your eyes
Is this a version of yourself you recognize

The darkest night fades into day
All this waiting, wasting time away
Listen to yourself as you begin to say
Tell me everything is gonna be OK

Fall back on what you know
When you’re killing time before the show
Lay back and close your eyes
Is this a version of yourself you recognize

Another winter’s day all blanketed in white
Trying to find your way through the sleepless night
Not gonna walk away without putting up a fight
Takes a little time to see the light

Fall back on what you know
When you’re killing time before the show
Lay back and close your eyes
Is this a version of yourself you recognize
All you standing up for yourself
For your family, for your health
Or laying down and giving up
Are we out of time or out of luck
