Sidelines Lyrics

One life, one life

Only seem to waste time, waste time

When the visions fly by

I'm floating sky high

One life, one life

Only seem to waste time, waste time

Just the others' fall guy

Stuck on the sidelines

If I had a penny for every time

I saw an opportunity but couldn't try

I'd be a rich man

No need to work then

If I gave a penny up every time

Someone around me had their time to shine

I'd have nothing

And that's how I feel

There's an emptiness inside me that is growing

With the days that turn into years

I can only hope that none of it is showing

Cause I'm running out of ideas

And the pace of my conviction is slowing

As I just can't face my fears

My stagnant motivation's controlling me

One life, one life

Only seem to waste time, waste time

When the visions fly by

I'm floating sky high

One life, one life

Only seem to waste time, waste time

Just the others' fall guy

Stuck on the sidelines

If I got a way that I could change myself

I don't think I'd dare to rearrange myself

Into ascendancy

Although I'd like to be

If I got a way that I could change myself

I think at this point I'd have to take the plunge

Into uncertainty

I feel the urgency

Maybe I've been given a chance here

Maybe this is my way to escape

Maybe I can pull myself together

And prevent myself from going up in flames

Maybe I am just too inconsistent

To let myself be carried by hope

Only time can tell if I can be persistent

Or if my dream will go up in smoke

One life, one life

Only seem to waste time, waste time

When the visions fly by

I'm floating sky high

One life, one life

Only seem to waste time, waste time

Just the others' fall guy

Stuck on the sidelines

Looking back it all seems so petty

Discrepancies among the busy life

Don't want to put the blame on those around me

Cause it feels like needless strife

Our time on this earth is way too finite

And what we do doesn't matter at all

So let's make the best of what we can I guess

I don't know

One life, one life

Only seem to waste time, waste time

When the visions fly by

I'm floating sky high

One life, one life

Only seem to waste time, waste time

Just the others' fall guy

Stuck on the sidelines
