 The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com

We stand like ghosts on corners, under eves
Hiding in plain sight, listening to the radios of passing cars and shuddering
Their windows down, to vent the sound
There is no neutral ground here so please, for me

Beware of the world
It's heavier than you think
Keep your friends close, so close
So you don't sink

We flash like blips on radar, detected
Deer standing in traffic, waiting for the impact
To send us all stumbling into the grace
Of each others arms

Beware of the world
It's heavier than you think
Keep your friends close, so close
So you don't sink

Waiting for new reasons for our oldest scars

Look at us, a band of f*ck ups
Blue collar kids, malcontents
And children who cried too much at school
If you do nothing else for me, then please
Judge me by the company that I keep

All of us too old to care
But too young to let it go

It was funny when I was sixteen
Well, who the f*ck is laughing now
Beyond all the awkward dinner table conversations and
Empty bank accounts, I'm so glad we're still here

We're Still Waiting
Waiting for our time to come
