A Thousand Years
A THOUSAND YEARS
We've been waiting
Putting all our pennies in a jar
And we've been hoping
That we'd be exactly where we are
We've been here
Been out there
Paying every due and every fine
We find ourselves out where it's still
Been this quiet every night
For a thousand years
We could stay here 'till it's like
We've disappeared
But we are here,
We are listening
And we've been wondering
Tying all our keys to a kite
And we've been laughing
Walking with our flickering flashlights
Inside, out wide
At the top of every ladder that we climb
We find ourselves out where it's still
Been this quiet every night
For a thousand years
We could stay here 'till it's like
We've disappeared
But we are here,
We are listening
Been this quiet every night
For a thousand years
We could stay here 'till it's like
We've disappeared
But we are here,
We are here,
And we are listening
We've been waiting
Putting all our pennies in a jar
And we've been hoping
That we'd be exactly where we are
We've been here
Been out there
Paying every due and every fine
We find ourselves out where it's still
Been this quiet every night
For a thousand years
We could stay here 'till it's like
We've disappeared
But we are here,
We are listening
And we've been wondering
Tying all our keys to a kite
And we've been laughing
Walking with our flickering flashlights
Inside, out wide
At the top of every ladder that we climb
We find ourselves out where it's still
Been this quiet every night
For a thousand years
We could stay here 'till it's like
We've disappeared
But we are here,
We are listening
Been this quiet every night
For a thousand years
We could stay here 'till it's like
We've disappeared
But we are here,
We are here,
And we are listening
