Common Ground

Last family gather We both got drowned out Over-under age A moment's all we got to be now So why am I waiting? This time I'd rather We both got thrown out Before it passed the fame This motion's all we got to be now But I couldn't take it Thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout Thinking 'bout waiting Oh, time I wish we'd taken It's on my mind to see you again Only I'm leaving again Last time that I looked to you With no doubts All those underrated days That I remembered so well Why are they fading? Try to say something But I don't know how All the ways you saved me You might never get to know now 'Cause I couldn't say it (Yeah) Am I over the hill or living under a rock? Last chance, moving slow But I know what I got Reminiscing that I'm wishing I knew what I was missing If I listen I can dance to the rhythm I got Thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout Thinking 'bout waiting Oh, time I wish we'd taken And it's on my mind to see you again Only I'm leaving again I felt them turn their backs on you And lose the time to listen, oh oh Even with what you've been through And all that I've been given, oh no And you could probably find Jesus Hidden in a crossword Make him stay for his supper I remember when you heard your mother's voice Twenty years after Oh, I said, who knew it all Oh, still gives Every year's after Passed on the look Like you knew what I felt Overthought the fate Chasing all I hope to be now So why am I waiting? I couldn't take it Why am I waiting, waiting, waiting? I'm underrated and I'm faded Trying to make me a plan But I created all the weight Of trying to make me a man It's complicated in the way I'm always feeling deflated I've waited patiently I've hated wasting youthful mistakes So, shit, don't act like that Don't pack that crap Don't call me incapable Don't lack in facts I might retract myself from the kids' table I'm done with all this chasing And facing cooperation I'm locked inside the basement I'm not trying to be complacent Am I over the hill or living under a rock? Last chance, moving slow But I know what I got Reminiscing that I'm wishing I knew what I was missing If I listen I can dance to the rhythm I got Thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout Thinking 'bout waiting Oh, time I wish we'd taken It's on my mind to see you again Wanna see again Thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout Thinking 'bout waiting Oh, time I wish we'd taken It's on my mind to see you again I won't be again
