We Are All Around Us Lyrics

We're just standing alone at the station

Checking our pockets for keys

Searching the lines for an ending

Still trying to feed some need

So we gather our pain and get on that train

But don't know where we're going

But the track keeps winding, the wheels keep grinding

The whistle don't stop blowing

Cause we are all… all around us

Looking over the shoulders that we lean on

Yeah, we're out there trading places

Just filling in the spaces

Yeah, we are all around us

Staring out of the window

But praying for a knock at the door

Just riding and hiding and wondering

What we are doing this for

Why do we get surprised when we open our eyes

And don't see a candle flaming

Well all the desire can't put out a fire

If there ain't one where we're aiming

Cause we are all… all around us

Holding it together empty handed

Yeah well we turn every light on

and then shine in all the wrong ones

Yeah we are all around us

Are we all in the way

Are we all here to stay

Living like tomorrow's today

We drift like ashes and dust

Live like gold-plated rust

Yeah we are all around us

We are all around us

We are all around us

If it's time to change then I think we should change

And if it's time to go then then I think we should go

There was a time when I would hold onto what I saw in tomorrow

I'd stand in line for my own dime just so I could beg and borrow

And if it's time to change then I think we should change

And if it's time to go then then I think we should go

And if it's time to change then I think we should change

And if it's time to know then why don't we already know

Yeah we are all around us. Yeah we are all around us
