We Are All Around Us
We're just standing alone at the station
Checking our pockets for keys
Searching the lines for an ending
Still trying to feed some need
So we gather our pain and get on that train
But don't know where we're going
But the track keeps winding, the wheels keep grinding
The whistle don't stop blowing
Cause we are all... all around us
Looking over the shoulders that we lean on
Yeah we're out there trading places. Just filling in the spaces
Yeah we are all around us
Staring out of the window
But praying for a knock at the door
Just riding and hiding and wondering
What we are doing this for
Why do we get surprised when we open our eyes
And don't see a candle flaming
Well all the desire can't put out a fire
If there ain't one where we're aiming
Cause we are all... all around us
Holding it together empty handed
Yeah well we turn every light on, and then shine in all the wrong ones
Yeah we are all around us
Are we all in the way?
Are we all here to stay?
Living like tomorrow's today
We drift like ashes and dust
Live like gold-plated rust
Yeah we are all around us
We are all around us
We are all around us
If it's time to change then I think we should change
And if it's time to go then then I think we should go
There was a time when I would hold onto what I saw in tomorrow
I'd stand in line for my own dime just so I could beg and borrow
And if it's time to change then I think we should change
And if it's time to go then then I think we should go
And if it's time to change then I think we should change
And if it's time to know then why don't we already know?
Yeah we are all around us. Yeah we are all around us
Checking our pockets for keys
Searching the lines for an ending
Still trying to feed some need
So we gather our pain and get on that train
But don't know where we're going
But the track keeps winding, the wheels keep grinding
The whistle don't stop blowing
Cause we are all... all around us
Looking over the shoulders that we lean on
Yeah we're out there trading places. Just filling in the spaces
Yeah we are all around us
Staring out of the window
But praying for a knock at the door
Just riding and hiding and wondering
What we are doing this for
Why do we get surprised when we open our eyes
And don't see a candle flaming
Well all the desire can't put out a fire
If there ain't one where we're aiming
Cause we are all... all around us
Holding it together empty handed
Yeah well we turn every light on, and then shine in all the wrong ones
Yeah we are all around us
Are we all in the way?
Are we all here to stay?
Living like tomorrow's today
We drift like ashes and dust
Live like gold-plated rust
Yeah we are all around us
We are all around us
We are all around us
If it's time to change then I think we should change
And if it's time to go then then I think we should go
There was a time when I would hold onto what I saw in tomorrow
I'd stand in line for my own dime just so I could beg and borrow
And if it's time to change then I think we should change
And if it's time to go then then I think we should go
And if it's time to change then I think we should change
And if it's time to know then why don't we already know?
Yeah we are all around us. Yeah we are all around us
