All These Things

Keen to tell ourselves to keep on moving

We carried all that parents feed their children

But giving up so much for what you're given

Maybe it's time to give in and start living

Your mother said your hair would be your beauty

And to rescue drowning men runs in your family

But not the one who sits while you were dancing

When "All My Friends" is playing at the party

All these things, they'll be waiting

All these dreams that we're living for

All these things, they'll be waiting for you

All our lives simply hanging on

And if the best we have to hope for is distraction

Then glimmering in red, the dance floor beckons

With boys who sing their songs in hope you'd listen

And if it hurts, we know we'd not choose different

All these things, they'll be waiting

All these dreams that we're living for

And all these things, you know they'll be waiting for you

All our lives, simply hangin' on
