Masquerade

Waiting for something
I've been waiting for something
To pick me up and take me from
This world of all I haven't done
I'm heading for nothing
I'm heading for nothing
On the other side of every door
Are all the things I've seen before

Is this where I take my bow
And find a way to live without
I know there's more to this whole show
But the curtain's slowly closing
And I'm feeling so alone

So save me
Take me by the hand
And show me all the things to do and say
For everything to go my way
And someday
When I find my place
I'm gonna get back out of this whole masquerade

There's always a reason
There's always a reason to look around the place I'm in
And dream of things that might've been

So find me a feeling
Oh, find me a feeling
That sails through mediocrity
With flags of splendor flying free

Don't you leave me behind
To face this wicked ticking time alone
There's more to this whole show
But I can't hold any longer
I've got nowhere else to go

So save me
Take me by the hand
And show me all the things to do and say
For everything to go my way
And someday
When I find my place
I'm gonna get back out of this whole masquerade

I remember in a simpler day
I promised that I wouldn't run away
There was something more to stay for
There was something more
But now those days they're dead and gone
I found nothing there now I'm moving on
For something more
I'll hide my face
And learn the rules to play this game

So save me
Take me by the hand
And show me all the things to do and say
For everything to go my way
And someday
I'm gonna find my place
And then I'll get back out of this whole masquerade

Shooting stars,
I'm seeing stars
Oh and round and round we spin
Till I finally fit right in
