lyrics

Up to the bar with your head in your hands
Your friends are the stars and the sky is their bed
You're stuck down here and it's all that you have and it's nothing
The voice in your head echoes just what was said
The laughter in here makes you wish you were dead
But everyone 'round is a ghost instead and they're nothing
The longer that you wait the more that they can take
And if you do nothing at all how will you know a mistake?
Been followed around by the clouds from outside
Longer than you will admit to or hide
Wipe off your nose and dry out your red eyes and feel something
Because it's waiting above and it's waiting below
The stares on the street that shoot right through your soul
From people who hurry with someplace to go when you're nowhere
The longer that you wait the more that you will ache
And if you do nothing at all how will you know a mistake?
You look up from the pages to see who's around
No one sees no one this far down
Know you can escape know that you can get out if you need to
So you follow your heart out and put up your hand
A car on the street stops to let you right in
It shines like a star and when you get in you are shining
Please don't make this mistake it's more than you can take
And if you need to let go who'll be the one to know
Yeah if you need to let go you are the one who knows
