i'm not a million miles from anywhere

but i'm a million miles from getting there

i need a focus just to get me up

so on the weekdays i just sleep a lot

im only comfortable pre-occupied

so i'm just looking for something to hide

when i open myself

i'm always me i am nobody else



can't blow the world up

can't burn the house down

and when i grow up

i won't make a sound but just...



why are we waiting

why can't we start changing

why are we waiting 

always so frustrating 

why are we waiting

we need rearranging 

why are we waiting 



i understand that breaking ties is hard

but should we really be a mile apart

what do you think that i am looking for 

why don't you tell me cause i'm getting bored 

there is so much that still i need to do 

but i'm mechanical and so are you 

we just look to the sun 

we're going nowhere but we're on the run 



can't blow the world up 

can't burn the house down 

and when i grow up

i will track you down and say...



why are we waiting

why can't we start changing

why are we waiting 

always so frustrating 

why are we waiting

we need rearranging 

why are we waiting 



i had a life but it was swallowed whole 

so i own nothing that could not be sold

i can't remember if i had it planned

i chose the water when i made my stand 



we're just the same we talk like you 

not quite insane but getting there

we're just the same we talk like you 

not quite insane 

forgetting! 



why are we waiting

why can't we start changing

why are we waiting 

always so frustrating 

why are we waiting

we need rearranging 

why are we waiting
