You're just waiting for something

To reignite the fire in you

You're just waiting for something

To reignite the fire in you

I've not been listening

I've not been reading

I've not been present

I've barely been breathing

Lost myself in a patchwork of woven dreams

Heard the voices of friends who have vanished and gone

Stared out the window and watched the red sky surf the breeze

Mild are the forces moving beneath us all

You're just waiting for something

To reignite the fire in you

You're just waiting for something

To reignite the fire in you

The trees of youth were falling all around me

But new shoots were poking through

One briefcase tears another

You need to find your team, find your max, find your mean

A half-smoked cigarette from behind an ear says

"Nothing to lose, back on the booze"

They'll think what they think

Despite what you don't or what you do
