The Band’s Waiting

The band's waiting
We're gonna play a show
It's just around the corner
Not far to go
I dig for feeling
I wanna make this real
I come up empty
It's just the way I feel

I think back
To when this all had meaning
With pointed words
We might sway some minds
Might find some wars
Worth fighting

The band's waiting
I've gotta make the show
It's just around the corner
But so far to go
I hear my phone ring
They must be checking sound
Someone will fill in
If I'm not around

I think back
To when this all had meaning
With pointed words
We might sway some minds
Might find some wars
Worth fighting

The band's waiting
But I've missed the show
It was just around the corner
But too far to go
I take an armful
I hug the feeling
The room's frosted
It's like dreaming
A door opens
She's screaming
It's my life
But now it's leaving me
