lyrics

I was waiting on the future
And now it’s come and gone
I’m cooling in my room with the curtains drawn
Writing in my diary
But they already know what’s going on
Catching up on the old news
It’s the only thing that keeps me calm

I gotta move along
Because you’re doing me wrong
I gotta move along
Because I’m doing you wrong

I was waiting on tomorrow
But then the sun didn’t rise
I went about my business under vacant skies
Walking down the aisles
Oh I’m just trying to live as advertised
When the clock stopped ticking
That was the moment that I realized

I gotta move along
Because I’m doing you wrong
I gotta move along
Because you’re doing me wrong

Out on a bike ride
Cause I got nowhere to go
And I’m thinking about the things that you can never know
The shadows were falling
The silence was solidifying
The only logical thing to do was break down and cry

This is the sequence of the letters
The record of the time
Dividing up our days into yours and mine
Running through the aisles
And screwing up my eyes to read the signs
But now it’s all on file
And I don’t have to look between the lines

I gotta move along
Because I’m doing you wrong
I gotta move along
Because I’m doing you wrong

The blackout curtains are drawn
The air conditioner’s on
It’s how I’m sleeping through the night
A little older
A little closer to the other side
I spent a long while looking at the skies up above
I saw a lot of sunsets but it wasn’t enough
It wasn’t enough

Well I woke up alone
With my location unknown
Bathed in blinding white light
And I rubbed my eyes
And wondered whether I should laugh or cry
You said you knew all along
That we were all wrong
Well what if you were right
What if you were right?
