They'll tell you who they think you are
They'll try to put you in your place
You're tired
All you want is to get out of here
You're telling me how alone you are
Is your life ending?
Has it lost its meaning?

You're thinking twenty years ahead
And it's scaring you to death
You'll give an answer one day
It can happen to you
What did you expect?
It's not easy after all
Now you finally know what it's like to grow up
And you're having second thoughts

Who are you waiting for?
(They could be there all along)
Am I asking you questions that you can't answer?
(Scared to answer wrong)
You'd like me to think you're alright
(When you run away in spite)
But you prove to the world that you don't believe
Who's left by your side?

Thoughts inside your head
Drive you crazy
Don't let the day pass by
Make your voice heard
What good does it do to worry about the future or hold up in the past?
Feelings like this never last

Who are you waiting for?
We don't want to take on life all alone
Am I asking you questions that you can't answer
Are there things in this world we don't know?
You'd like to make me think you're alight
But I can tell what you're feeling inside
When you prove to the world that you don't believe
Who's left by your side?
