[Verse 1]
So I've given it up
How could this ever seem so simple
Waiting for love
But now you're the one who's mixing signals
[Pre-Chorus]
You say that you're sorry
But you're asking what are we
Never enough
And I'm thinking that I can solve this riddle another way
It's not like we're alright
We could be anywhere else tonight
[Chorus]
Tell me what we're waiting for
Are we holding out for something more
Here on the sidelines
We're out on our own time
There's nothing like a crowded room
To make me wanna up and leave with you
Under the bright lights
Still here on the sidelines
[Verse 2]
Was this ever real
Or was it another empty promise
You think I don't feel
But maybe that's what we have in common
[Pre-Chorus]
You say that you're sorry
But we're back where we started
How do we heal
I pray I'll be honest with myself another day
It's not like we're alright
We could be anywhere else tonight
[Chorus]
Tell me what we're waiting for
Are we holding out for something more
Here on the sidelines
We're out on our own time
There's nothing like a crowded room
To make me wanna up and leave with you
Under the bright lights
Still here on the sidelines
[Bridge]
It's not like we're alright
It's just something we're drawn to
Is it worth holding on to
(It's not like we're alright)
If we fend for ourselves
We could be anywhere else tonight
[Chorus]
Tell me what we're waiting for
Are we holding out for something more
Here on the sidelines
We're out on our own time
There's nothing like a crowded room
To make me wanna up and leave with you
Under the bright lights
Still here on the sidelines
[Outro]
Under the bright lights
'Til here on the sidelines
Under the bright lights
Still here on the sidelines
