[Verse 1]

So I've given it up

How could this ever seem so simple

Waiting for love

But now you're the one who's mixing signals

[Pre-Chorus]

You say that you're sorry

But you're asking what are we

Never enough

And I'm thinking that I can solve this riddle another way

It's not like we're alright

We could be anywhere else tonight

[Chorus]

Tell me what we're waiting for

Are we holding out for something more

Here on the sidelines

We're out on our own time

There's nothing like a crowded room

To make me wanna up and leave with you

Under the bright lights

Still here on the sidelines

[Verse 2]

Was this ever real

Or was it another empty promise

You think I don't feel

But maybe that's what we have in common

[Pre-Chorus]

You say that you're sorry

But we're back where we started

How do we heal

I pray I'll be honest with myself another day

It's not like we're alright

We could be anywhere else tonight

[Chorus]

Tell me what we're waiting for

Are we holding out for something more

Here on the sidelines

We're out on our own time

There's nothing like a crowded room

To make me wanna up and leave with you

Under the bright lights

Still here on the sidelines

[Bridge]

It's not like we're alright

It's just something we're drawn to

Is it worth holding on to

(It's not like we're alright)

If we fend for ourselves

We could be anywhere else tonight

[Chorus]

Tell me what we're waiting for

Are we holding out for something more

Here on the sidelines

We're out on our own time

There's nothing like a crowded room

To make me wanna up and leave with you

Under the bright lights

Still here on the sidelines

[Outro]

Under the bright lights

'Til here on the sidelines

Under the bright lights

Still here on the sidelines
