why are we waiting?

i'm not a million miles from anywhere
but i'm a million miles from getting there
i need a focus just to get me up
so on the weekdays i just sleep a lot
im only comfortable pre-occupied
so i'm just looking for something to hide
when i open myself
i'm always me i am nobody else

can't blow the world up
can't burn the house down
and when i grow up
i won't make a sound but just...

why are we waiting
why can't we start changing
why are we waiting
always so frustrating
why are we waiting
we need rearranging
why are we waiting

i understand that breaking ties is hard
but should we really be a mile apart
what do you think that i am looking for
why don't you tell me cause i'm getting bored
there is so much that still i need to do
but i'm mechanical and so are you
we just look to the sun
we're going nowhere but we're on the run

can't blow the world up
can't burn the house down
and when i grow up
i will track you down and say...

why are we waiting
why can't we start changing
why are we waiting
always so frustrating
why are we waiting
we need rearranging
why are we waiting

i had a life but it was swallowed whole
so i own nothing that could not be sold
i can't remember if i had it planned
i chose the water when i made my stand

we're just the same we talk like you
not quite insane but getting there
we're just the same we talk like you
not quite insane
forgetting!

why are we waiting
why can't we start changing
why are we waiting
always so frustrating
why are we waiting
we need rearranging
why are we waiting
