Well you like
what you're given
a lot of us are standin' in line.
And you find
that you're missin'
what others thought you had all the time.
And it’s high
but you’re reachin’
the trees are getting’ harder to climb.
so you try
to begin there
‘cause life is such a wonderful slide.

You're hangin' around the day
you're foolin' yourself with blame
you're takin' it all to a future sight
hangin' around the day.
God only knows what you're missin'.

Well you know
where you're goin'
and knowin' is a comfortable flight.
And you’re wish
is pretending
to slightly move over the light.
And you sigh
at the rainbow
that’s comin’ from the other side.
It’s a slide
with a message
the struggle seems to give me some life.

You’re hangin’ around the day
you’re foolin’ yourself with blame
you’re takin’ it all to a future sight
Hangin’ around the day.
You’re hangin’ around the day
you’re foolin’ yourself with blame
you’re takin’ it all to a future sight
Hangin’ around the day
