lyrics

Up on the rooftop
Waiting for the sun to drown
Late in the evening
Living in a dead end town
Going nowhere
We were already there
I guess I was waiting
Waiting to be right on time, time

Heron in the river
Eagle in the evergreen
You in the daylight
Down in the darkness, me
Steps from deliverance
Was I already there?
I guess I was waiting
Waiting for the sun to drown

Where did it go
I wanna know
Tell me the truth
Where did it go
I wanna know
All of my youth

Figure I get around
I wanna know
Better than ever now
Where did it go
Life within the life around me

The river ran dry
Windows are open wide
You can cry
But it doesn’t really matter, does it?
Are you alive?
Are you a panic attack in the back of your own mind?

Where did it go
I wanna know
Tell me the truth

Figure I get around
Better than ever now
Figure I get around
Better than ever now
Figure I get around
Better than ever now
Figure I get around
Better than ever now
Life within the life around me
