lyrics

Nothing ever comes easy
Everything always comes slow
Waiting for the break in the waves
But you’re stuck in the undertow

Nothing ever comes quickly
Everything’s quietly numb
Waiting on the right side
Of the swing of the pendulum

But it’s not all it’s cracked up to be
When your only friend is lonely
It’s quiet company
When you’re living alongside lonely

Nothing is ever certain
Everything is over you know
Waiting to catch up in the game
But the pace is never slow

Nothing is ever steady
Everything breaks and then mends
Waiting for the film to keep rolling
To see if you make the end

But it’s not all it’s cracked up to be
When your only friend is lonely
It’s quiet company
When you’re living alongside lonely

Waiting for the wind to pick up the wind to pick up the wind to pick up
I am waiting for the wind to pick up the wind to pick up it must

But it’s not all it’s cracked up to be
When your only friend is lonely
It’s quiet, quiet company
When you’re living alongside lonely
