A Thousand Years

We’ve been

waiting

Putting all our pennies in a jar

And we’ve been

hoping

that we’d be exactly where we are

We’ve been here

Been out there

Paying every due and every fine

We find ourselves out where it’s still...

...Been this quiet every night

For a thousand years

We could stay here ‘till it’s like

we’ve disappeared

But we are here,

we are listening

And we’ve been

wondering

Tying all our keys to a kite

And we’ve been

laughing

Walking with our flickering flashlights

Inside, out wide

At the top of every ladder that we climb

we find ourselves out where it’s still...

...Been this quiet every night

For a thousand years

We could stay here ‘till it’s like

we’ve disappeared

But we are here,

we are listening

...Been this quiet every night

For a thousand years

We could stay here ‘till it’s like

we’ve disappeared

But we are here,

we are here,

And we are listening
