Waving Through a Window

I've learned to slam on the brakeBefore I even turn the keyBefore I make the mistakeBefore I lead with the worst of meGive them no reason to stareNo slippin' up if you slip awaySo I got nothing to shareNo, I got nothing to sayStep out, step out of the sunIf you keep getting burned, yeahStep out, step out of the sunBecause you've learned, because you've learnedOn the outside, always looking inWill I ever be more than I've always been?'Cause I'm tap, tapTapping on the glassWaving through a window, ohI try to speak, but nobody can hearSo I wait around for an answer to appearWhile I watch, watchWatching people passI'm waving through a window, ohCan anybody see?Is anybody waving back at me?(Back at me, back at me)We start with stars in our eyes(Stars in our eyes)We start believing that we belong(We belong)But every sun doesn't rise(The sun doesn't rise)And no one tells you where you went wrongStep out, step out of the sunIf you keep getting burned, yeahStep out, step out of the sunBecause you've learned, because you've learnedOn the outside, always looking inWill I ever be more than I've always been?'Cause I'm tap, tapTapping on the glassWaving through a window, oh, ohI try to speak, but nobody can hearSo I wait around for the answer to appearWhile I watch, watchWatching people passI'm waving through a window, oh, ohCan anybody see? Is anybody waving?When you're falling in a forestAnd there's nobody aroundDo you ever really crashOr even make a sound?When you're falling in the forestAnd there's nobody aroundDo you ever really crashOr even make a sound?When you're falling in a forestAnd there's nobody aroundDo you ever really crashOr even make a sound?When you're falling in the forestAnd there's nobody aroundDo you ever really crashOr even make a sound?Did I even make a sound?Did I even make a sound?It's like I never made a soundWill I ever make a sound?On the outside, always looking inWill I ever be more than I've always been?'Cause I'm tap, tapTapping on the glassWaving through a window, oh, ohI try to speak, but nobody can hearSo I wait around for an answer to appearWhile I watch, watchWatching people passWaving through a window, oh, ohCan anybody see?Is anybody waving back at me?(Back at me, back at me)Is anybody waving? (Is anybody waving?)Waving, waving, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
