Sidelines

So I’ve given it up
How could this ever seem so simple
Waiting for love
But now you’re the one who’s mixing signals
You say that you’re sorry
But you’re asking “what are we?”
Never enough
And I’m thinking that I can solve this riddle another way

It’s not like we’re alright
We could be anywhere else tonight

Tell me what we’re waiting for
Are we holding out for something more?
Here on the sidelines, we’re out on our own time
There’s nothing like a crowded room
To make me wanna up and leave with you
Under the bright lights
Still here on the sidelines

Was this ever real?
Or was it another empty promise?
You think I don’t feel?
Maybe it’s what we have in common
You say that you’re sorry
But we’re back where we started
How do we heal?
I pray I’ll be honest with myself another day

It’s not like we’re alright
We could be anywhere else tonight

Tell me what we’re waiting for
Are we holding out for something more?
Here on the sidelines, we’re out on our own time
There’s nothing like a crowded room
To make me wanna up and leave with you
Under the bright lights
Still here on the sidelines

It’s not like we’re alright
It’s just something we’re drawn to
Is it worth holding on to?
It’s not like we’re alright
If we fend for ourselves
We could be anywhere else tonight

Tell me what we’re waiting for
Are we holding out for something more?
Here on the sidelines, we’re out on our own time
There’s nothing like a crowded room
To make me wanna up and leave with you
Under the bright lights
Still here on the sidelines
