They don't wanna give him a break

He's falling on his sword

And those that give and take

And pound upon your door

Culture says "the days go on and on"

Safety net, the burden of your cause

She said to listen, when you should speak

Staying when you should leave

Falling on your sword again

You pick a life and play pretend

Run from girls you haven't met

And waste the time you have to spend

You watch and wait

You stand out in a crowd

They were laughing loud

Looking through your glass

Watch the hours pass

Scream and shout, do it for yourself

Safety net, caught him as he fell

She said to listen, when you should speak

Staying when you should leave

Falling on your sword again

You pick a life and play pretend

Run from girls you haven't met

And waste the time you have to spend

If you could find another life

A different way to waste your time

Accidental alibi

She turn her shoulder, waves goodbye

You watch and wait
