Wish Her Luck

The second hand on the clock counts down to midnight
As the coffee maker brews its second pot
Anxious toe taps convey consternation
Caffeine jitters, or maybe not

Aspiration meets hesitation
But inspiration is just outside the door

Do you hear our voices shouting from outside?
Can't you hear us calling out your name?
If you want to disappear to anywhere but here
You're the only thing that's standing in your way

In your head you're doing calculations
Weighing pros and cons like you always do
But it's time to turn it off, time to get moving
After all the shit they put you through

Deliberation, too much contemplation
How much more of this will you endure?

Do you hear our voices shouting from outside?
Can't you hear us calling out your name?
If you want to disappear to anywhere but here
You're the only thing that's standing in your way

Wish her luck 'cause there she goes
Off to someplace she don't know
So fed up with the status quo
It all stopped mattering long ago
No excuse, no time to waste
She smells freedom and needs a taste
Done with waiting, must make haste
Get the fuck out leave no trace

Do you hear our voices shouting from outside?
Can't you hear us calling out your name?
If you want to disappear to anywhere but here
You're the only thing that's standing in your way
