Did you say what you wanted said?

And now you're just putting the days to bed

young actors want to play and play

and you'll play, but you're working


call applicants and stole cornering them

we're all waiting for the big day

if you feel crazy that you're still crazy

it hasn't happened for a few days

well just wait


in hindsight you're gonna wish you were here

you keep scratching at the old paint

but the wood is still there

and the room is still there


if you're trying to feel the wind

well that's a window you're pressed against


you never told me your secrets

so I guess they stayed safe with me

tall orders from such small shoulders

and invitations on blue paper


but I'm bailing water and bailing water

'cause I like the shape of the boat

you asked me and I told you

and you asked me and I told you and I told you


in hindsight you're gonna wish you were here

you keep scratching at the old paint

but the wood is still there

and the room is still there


if you're my anchor then I'm throwing you over the side

before I have the time to say 

I never wanted anyone this way

but I'm smoking cigarettes when no one else does

and if I hold you now will I be holding a snowball

when the season changes and I'm craving the sun?


Are you still training for the big race 

by hoping the runners will die?

Churning the words of your disgrace

but it's how you are when you're down that counts


and you know we're a good thing

it's been a long time since you said

put down your camera and let me ask you

is this new move just to keep moving?


in hindsight you're gonna wish you were here

you keep scratching at the old paint

but the wood is still there

and the room is still there


if I kiss you now like sun streaming in a tavern's door

would you wonder what I'm kissing you for?
