Daylight streaming,
On my face,
Prognosis looking grim,
Sudden case of paralysis,
Just can't move my limbs.

Thunder crashing,
Lightning flashing,
Raindrops in my hair,
But it's not clearing up,
Better stay in bed.

Waiting for that sinking feeling,
It's all that keeps me together,
And I'm so scared to let it unwind,
Waiting for that same old feeling.

You're the straight man,
I'm the punch line,
Life is just a joke,
But look who's laughing now,
Guess I'll laugh until I choke.

Cars crashing,
Tyres smashing,
Franklin Avenue,
Waiting for the dramatic save,
Nothing else to do.

Waiting for that sinking feeling,
It's all that keeps me together,
And I'm so scared to let it unwind,
Waiting for that same old feeling.

And nobody tells me what to do,
Nobody tells me what to do,
Nobody tells me what to do.

Waiting for that sinking feeling,
It's all that keeps me together,
And I'm so scared to let it unwind,
Waiting for that same old feeling
