Well you like what you're given 

A lot of us are standing in line 

And you'll find that you're missing 

What others thought you had all the time 

And it's high but you're reaching 

The trees are getting harder to climb 

So you try to begin there 

Cause life is such a wonderful slide 

You're hanging around the day 

You're filling yourself with blame 

You're taking it all to a future sight 

Hanging around today 

God only knows what you're missing 

Well you know where you're going 

And knowing is a comfortable fight 

And your wish is pretending to slightly move over the light 

And you sigh at the rainbow 

That's coming from the other side 

It's a slide with a message 

This trouble seems to give me some life 

You're hanging around the day 

You're filling yourself with blame 

You're taking it all to a future sight 

Hanging around today 

You're hanging around the day 

You're filling yourself with blame 

You're taking it all to a future sight 

Hanging around today
