lyrics

they say, play it safe
don’t you wanna be safe?
who doesn’t wanna be safe
be alright?

don’t rock the boat
‘cause you never know when
no, you never know when
the storm will arrive

you’re getting tired of building lifeboats
when you never learned to swim
and you’re tired of being someone else
than who you could’ve been
they say, wait just a little while longer

come back down, they say
come back down
can’t you see
the mountain’s much too high?
feet on the ground
can’t you remember
someone tried to climb
and fell down and died?

well, you keep looking into the distance
and you can’t help wondering when
when you can give up your straight line living
and turn around a bend

you’re not trying to be someone special
you’ve just tried being everyone else
after all you’ve said and all you’ve done
it’s your own heartbeat that you’ve never felt, no
they say, wait just a little while longer

at the end of the road you can see it
it’s been waiting here all this time
it looks more like a cliff than a mountain
and it’s a hell of a way to climb
you’re still answering to those voices
you’ve been carrying through the years
they’re still shooting you down
pulling you to the ground
but you won’t stop now that you’re finally here

they said, wait just a little while longer
now might not be the time
wait just a little while longer
before your dreams and reality collide

they said, wait
they said, wait just a little while longer
