lyrics

sitting, waiting, watching the world from your second story window
holding feelings of dissatisfaction for everyone that you know
well if you want it kid, you best get up and go
'cause there's always someone else who wants it just a little more
i'm holding my head up high even though things haven't turned out right
i'm skating through life on thin ice
don't think twice and it'll be alright
i haven't slept much lately, i can't seem to find my way
when there's so much work to be done and so little time in each day
i'm watching this world go by and i can't quite seem to get shit right
i can't find the time of day to say the things that i'd like to say
you don't know the second half of everything that came before or what the future holds for you
i'm holding my head up high even though things haven't turned out right
i'm skating through life on thin ice
don't think twice and it'll be alright
