Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me
Give them no reason to stare
No slipping up if you slip away
So I got nothing to share
No, I got nothing to say
[Verse 2]
Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned
[Verse 3]
On the outside always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap-tap-tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch-watch-watching people pass
I'm waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see?
Is anybody waving back at me?
[Verse 4]
We start with stars in our eyes
We start believing that we belong
But every sun doesn't rise
And no one tells you where you went wrong
[Verse 5]
Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned
[Verse 6]
On the outside always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap-tap-tapping on the glass
Waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch-watch-watching people pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see? Is anybody waving?
[Verse 7]
When you're falling in a forest
And there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest
And there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash or even make a sound?
[Verse 8]
When you're falling in a forest
And there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest
And there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash or even make a sound?
[Verse 9]
Did I even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
It's like I never made a sound
Will I ever make a sound?
[Verse 10]
On the outside always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap-tap-tapping on the glass
Waving through a window, oh
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch-watch-watching people pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see?
Is anybody waving back at me?
[Verse 11]
Is anybody waving?
Waving, waving
Whoa, oh
