She can't look you in the eye
'Cause she's staring at a screen and
She can't listen to the song
Because she can only dance to a machine
And time flies right over our heads
'Till we look one last time from our beds
Waiting, still, for something to call
Hoping still for some wherewithal
He can't look you in the eye
And he finds it safe to lie
What if someone figured out
That most of what he's known is doubt
He dreams of that one day
When he'll know exactly what to say and then
He'll be what he wants to be
And everyone will see what he wants them to see
And time flies right over our heads
'Till we look one last time from our beds
Waiting, still, for something to call
Hoping still for some wherewithal
Something is here all along
The band plays but we don't here the song
Waiting for a chance just to be
A longing without ever knowing we are already
