Up to the bar with your head in your hands
Your friends are the stars and the sky is their bed
Youre stuck down here and its all that you have and its nothing
The voice in your head that goes just what was said
The laughter in here makes you wish you were dead
But everyone round is a ghost instead and theyre 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 somethin
Cause its waiting above and its waiting below
The stairs on the street shoot right through your soul
People who hurry with someplace to go
And youre nowhere
The longer that you wait
The more that you will ache
If you do nothin at all
How you know a mistake?
And look up from the pages to see whos around
No one sees no one so far this down
Know you can escape know 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
Its shines like a star and when you get in
You are shining
Please dont make this mistake
Its more than you can take
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'll know.
