My eyes are open but I’m feeling kind of tired
it’s been a long day – gloomy and uninspired
there’s just no way to change it
to go back and rearrange it
that’s simply how things are
My hands are empty but I’m carrying too much
it’s been a tough time – frustrated out of touch
and everyone’s pretending
that the world is never ending
it’s simply how things are
So we keep waiting and waiting and procrastinating
waiting and waiting for the right time
Fading and fading and evaporating
hating ourselves is the worst crime
My mind is racing but I’m quiet and I’m calm
this is just a moment and soon it will be gone
it took so long to find it
there’s no way to rewind it
that’s simply how things are
My heart is aching cause I know I’ve done you wrong
it’s not so easy but I’m trying to be strong
we’re a long way from perfection
it’s a positive direction
that’s simply how things are
Still I keep waiting and waiting and procrastinating
waiting and waiting for the right time
Fading and fading and evaporating
hating myself is the worst crime
Lock me up and throw away the key
I confess will you please forgive me for waiting??
My feet are grounded but I’m standing on the edge
high above a promise and underneath a pledge
got to take my chances
if I’m going to find the answers
that’s simply how things are
